HEARTBREAK and LESSONS:

“Actually, someone made a comment and said that I shouldn’t take to them a short man,” she said.

Love is supposed to be about connection, understanding, and shared dreams. But sometimes, love is measured-not in time spent together or sacrifices made, but in inches.

I remember the day like it was yesterday. Sunday, January 31st, 2021. The afternoon was warm, the sodas were cold, and the conversation was supposed to be just another chapter in our story. Instead, it became the final page.

We sat together at Texas Bar & Lounge, near Bukoto Heights Apartments. Memory, the woman I had envisioned a future with, looked at me with a seriousness I had never seen before. And then, with the weight of a thousand rejections, she spoke:

“Actually, someone made a comment and said that I shouldn’t take to them a short man.”

She said it so casually, as if those words weren’t about to shatter me. She claimed her mother had warned her against marrying me because of my height. That was it. No discussion, no chance to argue, no reassurance that love should be about more than physical attributes. Just a cruel reminder that, in her eyes-and in the eyes of those who influenced her-I wasn’t enough.

That was the last time I heard from her. We never met again.

For weeks, I replayed those words in my head. Was height really more important than the way I cared for her? More important than the laughter we shared, the dreams we spoke about, the effort I put into making her happy? I wasn’t just rejected-I was dismissed, discarded, as if my entire worth had been condensed into a number on a measuring tape.

People say, “If they leave because of such a reason, they were never meant for you.” But that doesn’t make it hurt any less. It doesn’t erase the sting of knowing that, in someone’s mind, love had a minimum height requirement.

Over time, I learned that real love isn’t conditional. It isn’t dictated by height, weight, or societal expectations. The right person won’t measure you against superficial standards-they will see your heart, your character, and your soul.

To anyone who has ever been rejected for something beyond their control, know this: You are enough. The right person won’t need to be convinced to love you. And when that love comes, it will remind you that you were always worthy—just as you are.
