slight

It’s such a deplorable state to be embroiled in an exhaustive capsule of a fortnight and the next few days are no different. All the pace I ever want is to slow down to have the time to capture the moments in writing and not to rant and moan about certain things. However the lighter side of the mess is that I was still able to press the remote into the right direction. The Accidental Husband which stars Uma Thurman as a love doctor hiding behind the less cruel medium of radio is a kind reminder of the advantages of measuring up vertically. Uma Thurman or any of the characters she portrays are all stunning. The actress is supermodel tall, with a job that has more substance than trying on clothes for a living. For very short people like me, it’s a vicious universe wrapped around in ridicule. People are mean. A joke in passing here and there may seem light hearted and innocent in its resonance but actually bruises in its core. But as far as transitions go, I’ve learned to develop a thick skin. Disparaging remarks rarely affects anymore. As I survey through the journey, the tallest of beings are actually less condescending than those who are not even five four and there are others who are shorter than me but are far more confident and shred the vilifiers into pieces by virtue of their tumefied self belief.
