I used to be self-conscious about my height after I realized my growth spurt in fifth grade would be the last time I grew an inch. After living a life of being 5'2 for eight years, I have discovered a few perks of being a short girl in a tall man's world.
No clothes are too short
Some clothes might be too long on you, but you will never find a skirt or a dress that leaves you feeling exposed.
There's no such thing as a short man
The worries of being taller than your prom date or potential boyfriend do not exist.
You can sleep anywhere
Because our bodies are so compact, we midgets can fit into the smallest places and still be somewhat comfortable. We don't have to worry about not having enough leg space in the backseat or having our limbs hanging off of the bed.
You can pass for a child when you need to
My parents love to claim that I'm a child at the movie theater and amusement park to save some money on a ticket- and it works. People generally don't question this claim when they see that you barely reach the ticket counter.
You can shop in the kid's section and save some $$$
Look at your height as a break on your wallet. Being short means you can fit into children's shoes and maybe even their clothes, too. This also means you have more places to shop and can save a couple of bucks, too.
Hiding becomes 10 times easier
I've gotten away with avoiding a certain person by hiding in a crowd. Being short means being able to blend into a larger group of people and essentially turning unnoticeable. This is also convenient if you're antisocial and hate interacting with other humans.
You will look young forever
Short people are often mistaken for being younger than they actually are. This might be inconvenient if you're trying to pass for 21 at a bar, but your height will work in your favor when the rest of your friends have aged and you still like twenty.
Don't look at your short stature as a disadvantage. With our wallets heavy, our butts covered, and our forever young appearance, there's nothing we can't do.
