you're ONLY 5' 8/12", huh? try being mexican. a real mexican. most of us are only 5' 5" or shorter. i'm one of the taller ones. i'm 5' 7", so you're taller than me. what i wouldn't do for an extra 1 1/2" in height. the wiskers on my beard stick out like the thorns on a cactus. people's eyes sparkle and their jaws drop when they hear me speaking in perfect, sophisticated english because they thought i only spoke español. you think asians have it bad? try being latino in america. america doesn't really like us and won't really accept us unless we're american. there's no room for our unrefined homeland cultures in america. and as bad as we think we have it, blacks, jews, frenchies, and people from the middle east will tell us otherwise. america is a great melting pot of cultures, but it's one that she herself hasn't grown accustom to stirring. no offense to all the white people.
nobody likes what they are. most of us would rather be taller, or thinner, or handsome, or darker, or lighter. the media is great at convincing us what we should look like if we want to live an abundant life... just like hitler. forget about all that ******** and make the best of what you have.
i wish you well.
I really feel for you, lovehurtme. Seriously, if anyone started telling around the corners about my hair problem, I'd want to strangle them. This is something I'm extremely touchy about. I don't wear a wig (yet anyway) but it would literally kill me if I had to. Even more so because I engage in sports where wearing a wig is impossible (well, sure unless you want it to fly off at the most inopportune moment). Hair may not be everything but it's a damn big part of feeling normal and attractive for a woman. Without it, feeling attractive is pretty much impossible, saying the contrary is merely a last-ditch attempt at self-placation.
