i wish i was a little bit taller. . .

i wish i was 5'8". i have always wanted to be 5'8" tall. i dont know why this particular height has been the "it" height for me but it just is. if i was 5'8" then i could reach the highest shelf in the kitchen (it's just barely out of reach now). if i was 5'8" i could be justified in wanting to date tall men. if i was 5'8", people would say, wow you're tall, and i's smile and say "i'm 5'8". why did i just think of this? i was walking down the hall earlier and i have on these F-A-B-O fabulous shoes my bff got me and they are kind of high and i had this urge to do a cartwheel. it's been a while since i had on shoes this high and i just felt like i was tall enough in these shoes to pull of a cartwheel. only problem is i dont know how to do a cartwheel, i never could do them as a kid, i bet if i had been taller i could have done it. i was in gymnastics and could flip and tumble, i could even do flips on the uneven bars, but i could not do a cartwheel. i was usually one of the shorter kids in school, i wasnt in the bottom row in school pictures, but i was in the second to last row. i didnt really grow till high school and when i got to high school i wore these heeled, kinda platformy shoes to be taller. now dont get me wrong i'm not freakishly short, and really i am on the tall side for my family. but when i got to college i just gave in to comfort and stuck to flatter shoes. my undergrad's dress code i believe mandates the wearing of flip flops, and so i was hooked. so now that i am becoming an adult i know. . .i wasnt ready for it either. . . i have been trying to buy more "grown up" shoes. these shoes often have heels and with the guidance of my bff i am getting there. but just think if i was 5'8" they wouldnt have to be that high because i would already be 5'8"
