There are a lot of awesome things about being short, however, there are also many struggles. Coming from someone that is just barely five feet tall, sometimes reaching the top shelf or finding clothes that fit seems impossible. Here are 10 short people problems I am sure you can relate to if you're a little vertically challenged like me:

1. When even the short people jeans are too long.

2. Reaching the top shelf is never an easy task.

3. Your tall friends think it's funny to use your head as an armrest.

4. You always seem to be running to keep up with people.

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.

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.
