If you're like me, you've always been the shortest one out of your family and friends and it's very seldom that you find someone who is shorter than you. As soon as people see me they ask me how tall I am and when I respond with 5'0" they give me this look of pity along with an "aww". We may not stand out in a crowd, but being a short girl has it's perks.
1. You can navigate easily through crowds.
It's easier to make your way through a crowded concert when you're small and can fit in tiny spaces and gaps. Sometimes people will feel sorry for you and will let you sit on their shoulders for a better view. It may frustrate the people behind you but, sorry not sorry.
2. People will always think you're cute
Since I was little I was cute (duh), but I think that being short has added on to the cuteness throughout the years. My entire life I've always been the "cute one" or I'm always hearing people comment with, "Omg, you're short." (Thank you Captain Obvious).
3. You're always in the front row for pictures.
People will always notice you in your cute outfit while in the background your best friend is standing in the back with someone's face covering her chin. In the front, you will never be forgotten.
4. I'm a "shawty" not a shorty.
If people try to offend you by calling you "shorty" or "short stuff" simply shut them down by telling them that you are a "shawty" (a fine ass woman) as Urban Dictionary defines it.
5. You will forever look young
Shortness= youthfulness. My mother and I are pretty much the same height and people always think we're sisters. For some girls that can be annoying, but for me it gives me something to look forward to in the future. I look at it like this, when I'm her age I'll look like a cute twenty-year-old.
6. Makes shopping and easier and cheaper.
When you're short you're able to buy child sneakers which are more cheaper than adult sized sneakers.
7. Scaring people.
You can hide in really small places where a "normal sized" person couldn't, jump out and scare the living daylights out of them. It's the best!
8. Heels: Go big or go home.
You can wear the tallest heels you want without ever feeling like an out of placed giant.
9. Two words: Daniel Radcliffe.
If Harry Potter can accept his height, then so can I.
