Length & Size

Sometimes a measurement sounds like it belongs in a math book, cold and boring, like it don’t belong in real life at all. But then you hold something in your hand and realise, oh… this is what 8 inches long actually feels like. It suddenly becomes a memory, not just a figure. A bit like … Read more

I remember the first time someone asked me, “so, really, how long is 100 feet?” and I just kinda froze, like when you open the fridge and forget why you came there in the first place. It wasn’t a math question, not really it felt like a feeling-question. Like trying to explain how big a … Read more

There’s this strange, soft moment when you hold something impossibly small like a newborn’s hand wrapping around your finger and suddenly, size becomes… emotional. Not just numbers on a ruler, not just a measurement size, but a feeling you sorta carry in your chest. I remember someone once whispering, “She was barely the length of … Read more

There’s something oddly tender about trying to measure distance when your heart is full. The other day, standing outside a hospital room where a tiny baby girl had just arrived into the world pink, blinking, and kinda confused about everything I found myself thinking about scale.

There are days when a question like “how long is 8 inches” pops up in your mind and you think, yeah ok, that’s easy… but then your brain kinda drifts and suddenly you’re staring at random objects in your room trying to feel the size instead of just knowing it. Funny thing is, visualization of … Read more

There’s something oddly emotional about measurements, isn’t it? Not like the dramatic kind of emotional, but the quiet, almost-sneaky kind. The kind that shows up when you’re measuring a baby’s tiny foot and someone says, “Oh, that’s about 3 Inch (in, ″) long,” and another person goes, “Wait, what’s that in Centimeter (cm) again?” And … Read more

The first time I held my niece, I remember thinking not in words exactly, more like a soft blur of feeling that she was impossibly small yet somehow… immeasurable. Funny thing, right? Because the nurse had just announced her Length, her Width (well, sort of), and her Height like she was a tiny three-dimensional figure … Read more
