I Have Grown!

A personal story in the experience: I Am Short
I used to be really, really obsessive about my height, doing exercises and everything, thinking about it all the time.

Nothing much has changed, only I have stopped doing the exercises and stopped measuring myself for a few months, but, I recently measured myself again, and I was taller! =O

I measured myself multiple times to make sure, in the morning, later in the day, and I now know that I have grown half-an-inch in the past few months, which is pretty darn cool, as I am 18 and a very, very, soon-to-be 19 year old, so I thought I would stop growing.

But, even though I have grown, I still find it wrong to say I have grown "taller", more that I have become a bit less short.

Maybe I'll include my actual height, if I get some replies to this story.

Well, I did say maybe. :P

But, it isn't really a bit secret, or anything, I am 5'5"

5'5" is NOT short. That's like the average height of boys in my year! And maybe you get the odd giant/midget. I'm 5'5"ish and I happen to be the tallest person in my family (my brother is almost there and my parents are both shorter than me. XD) Come to Malaysia. You will feel tall!
