Woe is me: Maxa igu qatay?

[Warsan_Star_Muslimah]

Asalaamu alikum peeps!

Okay, confession time. I have a thing for 'height' and when I say height, I mean 'tallness.' I fuss about it all the time, keep thinking that I'm actually tall, when in fact I'm not. At All! Anywho, my mum likes tall people, she is tall herself, and always going on about how she should have given me more milk and I would've grown up to be a tall girl etc etc. There was a time in my teenage years I started to shoot, and everyone kept on commenting on that (ugh, did they say maashallah?) but somewhere I stopped.

Ala kulli xaal, I always thought I was 5'6, and then I measured myself using a measuring tape, and lo and behold I find out I'm 5'5 I'm gobsmacked and quite frankly not happy! Yesterday I go to Boots and then measure myself again, thinking this is a state of the art machine, sod that tape. I find out, I'm 5'4.9" (nearly 5'5, but still) I just couldn't believe it!!!!!!!! NOOO! This bloody machine should be telling me I'm 5'6! What the heck? I'm thinking at this point, a malfunction happened. No worries, I go for a second try, and I get 5'4.5! *At this point I should've fainted* but I just leave, feeling desperately sorry for myself.

Conclusion: Alhamdulilah ala kulli xaal!

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) also reported that the Messenger of Allaah (SAW) said: ‘Allah does not look at your outward appearance or your wealth, He looks at your hearts and your deeds.’”

Lol...I once thought i was tall too until my GP broke the news that i was 5"6. I blame my short friends for my false expectations lol..

"Likes tall people" - is that not a bit weird?

[HELWAA]

I'm 5'5 too, it's normal...mana gaabnid mana dheerid.Dadkaaga isaga dhex jirta.Anway what matters is the size of ur heart.

[Shirib]

Warsan,

you're the perfect height

[Warsan_Star_Muslimah]

Ms.Erudite, Lool, I love my asian friends.

Why is it weird, I used to think I was tall, thats why I liked tall people Thats the only discrimination that I do, and I'm not ashamed of, tall people rock.

Helwaa,

Yeah, I googled it then found out it was the average height for most females around the World. I got abit happy then. How sad. Yes, what really matters is the heart, I just can't answer how big is your heart? lol

Shirib,

Thank You Shiribka!

5'5(without heels) is a good hight mashallah.

we all have our insecurities, i wake up looking at my goat beard every morning hoping it has grown just a tat more

if you are in love with hight marry a tall Somali dude, your kids will have a good chance of growing tall so you can live through them as for myself, i hope you can hook me up with one of your Asians friends, preferably a hairy one

[Paddington Bear]

Don't fret dear. You're a woman, you always have the option of wearing twelve inch heels.

[GeoDesic]

Midgets. Hope at least meelaha kale inaa waxooga blessed ka tihiin(for the girls). It is okay to be short and sexy.

[Diyeeshaha_Tolka]

all to blame ur mum for not liking short pple,,adigana waxaad iska dhaadhicisay inaad dheertahay

[Sir-Luggoyo]

Warsan,

Reer Xamar waxay ku maahmaahaan:

Geber ha gaabnaato hana gaduudanaato (r u a li'l light skinned at least?)

And another one

Nin kaa dheer, hortaada aas wax arkaa



I am 6'2 and I wouldn't mind hitching a 5'5 dame

[kambuli]

Looks is what Allaah SWT gives people.. Height is one of the gifts that contribute to the beauty. That is why most people love to be tall. I love people who are proportionately tall. It is not a beauty to have long legs and short back. long arms hanging somewhere like a gorrila..!!If a women is above 6' she will be "geel camal"

Somalidu waxay ku maahmaadaa:

Wiilkaagu marbuu hiil kaaga baahan yahay, waa marka aad hooyadiis guursanaysid

Aside from kaftan, we should be thankful whatever Allaah gave us

[Basra-]

Warsan_Star_Muslimah u r not 5'5 -- u r 5'2

[Skippa]

Warsan Star, Cheer up sister, if you think about it, of the chinese population in the world, you are taller than at least half a billion of 'em, and you're eyeball to eyeball with another quarter of a billion...add most other indhoyars, the mexicans, the phillipinos, our ethiopian and eritrean cousins, the hutus and twas of rwanda/burundi and their bantu kins in congo, the pygmies, the Khoisan, all the indigeneous people of of the americas from the inuit of the canadian arctic to the naked savages in the amazonian jungles, the wandering gypsies of europe, the darker indians and the sri lankans, the elderly people of the world (80 years +)...put it all together and I'd say the overwhelming majority of these people waad ku dul casheyneysaa so alxamdulilaah iska dheh!

[GeoDesic]

So Skippa, you are saying there is comfort in numbers? Good advise bro

[Amethyst]

Leave to skippa to put things into perspective. lol.


Id personally had said it aint nothing but a G thang to wear some really high heels that day ur posing for ur Drivers license photo, then flaunting it around so much it'd would give ya an amnesia!
