hey there!
I can completely relate to your situation. But you know what?
You are an amazing author. You have what those 'skyscrapers' lack.....TALENT. You should use it. Because i simply loved the way you described EVERYTHING. I am not exactly tall. 5 feet to be exact (same pinch :P ) But yeah, people like you GIVE ME HOPE.
