extra large, extra potential?

xl is just a word (or maybe just series of alphabet?) written in the back label of some clothing. well at least most of my clothing. reading, hearing nor seeing that word (should i say word? hehe, what the hell!) i never have any certain feelings. maybe just because i am used to it, huh? okay, i am a size xl, so what? there are times when xls are just good enough, consedering some clothing line dont even bother making sizes for big persons (cases well-understood in indonesia, for cheap prices is mostly the main consideration for business runner. the way i see it, it had nothing to do with designers felt their products wont look good in people with big size. eh, ini pembenaran atau beneran ya? hehehe)

but a couple of days ago it hit me just like that. the phrase (hey..maybe this is the right thing. phrase, not word) xl stands for something. it says EXTRA LARGE. funny huh, how something that i considered a ussual thing suddenly become a thing that hurts me so bad. the two little alhpabet written in the label of my clothing all this while is actually an undirect grouping of my body size. in a more undirect way, the phrase says that the society sees my being as something out of the ordinary, that they call it extra. Ah, sudahlah. no biggies, no harm done. just feel glad to share my thought.
