June 15

Hey, my name is Eva Kristiansen. So, I believe today is June 15 or something like that, but anyways I’ve decided to start writing a diary because something really interesting happened today. So, when I got measured at the doctor’s office, they said I was 5’1” which was really weird because I could have sworn I was under 5 feet just a week ago. I kind of shrugged it off though but I still can’t stop thinking about it.

All my life I’ve been this tiny little cutesy doll that has been the shortest person in every one of her classes. I can’t even get a date because all the guys say they like tall girls at my school (I’m going into my senior year this August) and the ones who like short girls are already dating someone. And what’s even worse is that these “short” girls are still at least an inch or two taller than me.

Being over 5 feet is nice for a change but I’m still tiny in comparison to all of my classmates, but since it’s summer right now there’s less opportunities to compare myself to others. I kind of just sit around all day eating food and sometimes going for walks but other than that my life is surprisingly uneventful. I’ve just grown so sick of being made fun of for my height over the years so if any deity or something is reading this, please give me a growth spurt that will make me taller than even the tallest buildings.

In all seriousness though, that would honestly suck but you get what I mean. I just wanna be a girl who is at least moderately tall for a change, because right now I’m just an undersized ironing board with a big brown bunch of hair that looks like a rat’s nest. Anyways, I’ll be writing in this every week so you’ll soon see if any of this weird growth stuff actually happens.

Alright, this is really creepy but I actually did get a growth spurt over the past week because I measured and I’m 5’2” now. I’m so excited to finally be growing, but at the same time it’s really surreal because I have no idea how any of this started or what’s causing it. Anyways, I’ve been getting comments on my height lately with people telling me I look taller and I basically just shrug them off and pretend like it’s nothing.

If I keep growing an inch a week, who knows how tall I could be in a year! Ok, so I don’t wanna be some hulking 50 foot giant, but being somewhere around 6’0” would be awesome! Another thing is that my clothes are not growing with me because I’ve had to spend so much of my money on new clothes and it’s kind of starting to get ridiculous.

I also forgot to mention that my family members are all freakishly tall, and I mean my mom is 6’3” and my dad is 6’7”. I also have two brothers, one is a 14 year old who is already 6’1” (Rafael) and the other is a 21 year old who’s already left the house but is a full 6’10” (Quentin). I don’t know what happened during the genetic molding process but whatever it was was the opposite of a miracle for me.

I’ll see whoever is reading this next week. Maybe I’ll be 5’3” or I might not grow at all, but only time will tell so I’ve just gotta wait and see.
