5 Things You Know If You're A 'Tall Girl'
Wikia

There are so many people on this earth and everyone is different, but one thing that can be a little more even in height.

Most girls are usually not taller and then those of us that are it becomes a whole other world. From dating to clothing being tall can have its advantages and disadvantages and sometimes neither one is very helpful. But if you are a tall girl these things are probably things that you have dealt with before and speaking from experience I have.

1. Trying to find someone taller than you can be a struggle

This is seriously so hard, but when you find that handful of people who are taller than you, you want them to be your friends forever. This is especially hard when you are trying to get into a relationship because it can be harder to date someone shorter than you. Especially if you want to wear heels. But when you have that time where you finally find someone taller than you, it is like the heavens have opened up and all is well in the world.

2. Wearing heels is almost impossible

There are always those moments where you have that one pair of heels you are just dying to wear, but when most of your friends are shorter than you this is pretty much impossible. Since you are already tall, you don't want to tower over everyone more wearing heels, so they get sacrificed for flats. Plus when your boyfriend is shorter than you and you want to wear heels, the height difference makes it hard.

3. Finding good clothing is hard

Trying to find clothing that actually fits well can be hard. Since you're already taller, a pair of shorts that would look fine on someone shorter look super short on you because of your height. The same goes for dresses the ones that might fit normally on someone else tend to look shorter on you.

4. You always get asked to get things for others

Your height can be an advantage and a disadvantage, more so the second one if you have short friends. If you do, most of the time they will end up asking you for something that they can't quite reach, so you have to do it for them.

5. When people ask you how tall you are

You easily get tired of people constantly asking you how tall you are. After this it then transfers to all these other types of questions about your height. Do you like being tall? How's the weather up there? Are you taller than your friends?


In the end, it pays off to be taller most of the time, but there can be some minor inconveniences. No matter what though, whether you are tall or short, you shouldn't let people judge you based on how you look. Love yourself because you are unique and there is only one you.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
