For those of you who don't know me, I'm only four foot nine, which I can't go a day without being reminded of. From the things people ask me, to the things I physically cannot do, here is a list of 15 problems all petite girls understand (and it doesn't end here):

First of all, you’ll probably always be asked how tall you are.

The answer is: I’m not tall.

Standing on your tippy toes to kiss your significant other.

Okay, you bend down, and I’ll stand on my tippy toes.

Needing a stool for virtually everything.

Closet? Yup. Shelves? Uh huh. Shopping? Yes, I wasn’t kidding.

Or when you climb on household objects.

The counter is my favorite.

When you don’t have shoes for a special occasion.

Sure, being able to fit into kid's shoes is great for the bank, but Dora isn't going to make the cut for the wedding.

Having to get your entire wardrobe tailored because even petites are too big.

Apparently only models can wear pants.

Being an arm rest for your taller friends.

“Oh my god, I can lean on your head!”

Or when your friends constantly ask to pick you up.

Personal space, please. Personal space.

You'll only be referred to as “adorable”

You will probably feel like a ten year old girl all of your life.

When people ask if you’re a legal midget.

“You could probably get a handicap pass!”

When a girl taller than you complains about how short she is.

Please. Tell me more.

Constantly getting stuck behind the tall people at the movies.

Yeah, the movie SOUNDED funny.

Getting cut in line.

"Oh sorry, were you on line?”

Or getting stuck behind a group of people.

You’ll probably never know what happened on the other side.

And finally there’s a perk: you’ll always get to merrily kick your feet.

Yes, it is as fun as it looks.

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.
