If you're like me, 5'4 and below, you know what it's like to be short. With the constant reminders of how we can't reach things or people using us as arm rests, it's easy to get annoyed. But no worries, the actual joke is all on the tall people, because with these 20 reasons, we can be proud of our short stature.
1. You will always be the cutest one of your friends.
Face it... you practically look like a 12 year old and that's okay! When we are older, no one will even be able to guess our age. Perpetual youth?... it's sounding pretty accurate.
2. You will always be front and center.
Yep, that's right. Everyone will remember you in that prom photo or school class yearbook picture... why? Because short people go first, which means your tall friends in the back are probably being blocked by some girls ponytail, but not you-- everyone can see you.
3. You can always hem your clothes.
It's true, you can always hem your clothes shorter, but you can never go longer. That's really unfortunate for the tall people in the world. But hey, it's a win for you!
4. High heels can never make you too tall.
Feel free to ask anyone you would like out on a date. There's basically a .001 chance that they will not be taller than you... even with those 6 inch heels.
5. Short dresses, aren't really "short" dresses.
Those dresses may look super short on your tall friends, but honey, the length fits just right on us. We can even occasionally wear kids clothes.
6. You will never hit your head on anything.
When everyone else is bending down to avoid collision, you will be golden. Especially under those dorm lofts.
7. You basically always look skinny.
Since people are looking down at you all the time, it presents a good angle for looking thin. So go ahead and eat all you want and gain a few pounds... no one will be able to see past your head, shoulder, and chest due to their tall vantage point.
8. People will always help you.
Okay maybe not always, but if you jump a little or reach your arm way up high, you bet someone will be there to assist.
9. People will offer their shoulders.
If your too short to see past the crowd, people will feel bad for you and will offer to give you a boost.
10. Children's shoes.
You heard me right sista... if the shoe fits, wear it! It's also incredibly cheaper, and who doesn't love that?
11. You will never be too long for a bed.
They were practically made with only short people in mind, and I am totally okay with that.
12. You're a kid whisperer.
It may be because you look like one, but kids love short people. Accept whatever token of friendship they may give, and if they ask you to color pictures, you best be coloring pictures.
13. You will always look innocent.
Embrace your inner angel, because short people can never do wrong.
14. You can get out of physical activities.
No one will ever think you are uncoordinated if you can't climb tall objects. Key word: tall.
15. Standing events are your favorite thing.
Due to all of the tall people in the room, you automatically get to shuffle your way to the front. It's a social law.
16. Awesome celebrities are most always short.
Okay that may be a false statement... but at least you can say things like: "Anna Kendrick is only 5'2!"
17. You can find the best hiding spots.
Whether it be for hide-n-seek or hiding from a camera flash, it's your specialty. All you have to do is find a tall person, and go behind them, problem solved.
18. Fast walking keeps you fit.
Thanks to your tall friends, you are on your way to getting skinny. Keeping up with their tall legs is no easy task, and you have now probably mastered the strolling pace of all your peeps.
19. You might have the best personality ever.
Although our height may be a bit short, doesn't mean our voices can't be high. Loud and proud is how most short beings are, and that should never change. Keep being you.
20. We live longer.
Yes, you heard me right. Short people experience things quicker and live longer... GOOGLE IT.
