Think Positive: Being Short

I've been short all my life (with the sole exception of fifth grade), and I've always complained about it. However, not everything about being small is bad.

1. You can fit in small places. I remember once I was in an earthquake drill, and we had to get under our desks. I fit perfectly, the guy behind me (a good foot taller than me) did not. Back seats without any leg room? Not a problem. Suitcases? Been there, done that. Being small can lead to being more comfortable in more places, as well as some fantastic pictures (as with the suitcases).

2. You can get away wearing things others can't. Since I'm small, things are always longer on me. Because of this, I can get away with wearing a lot of shirts with leggings (since they go past my butt) that taller girls wouldn't be able to pull off. Which is awesome, since I love leggings. Also, dresses are a little bit longer on me, which is nice since I'm not comfortable showing a lot of leg.

3. You can shop in the children's section. I've posted about this here, so I won't bore you by talking about it again. I'll just say it's a definite plus to being short.

4. Everyone thinks you're adorable. I can't tell you enough how many people tell me that, large in part due to my height, or lack thereof.

5. You stopped growing ages ago. If you're anything like me, you haven't grown for years. Which means you didn't have to deal with outgrowing your favorite shirt or those adorable shoes. Note: you could run into issues with this if you have hoarding issues like me.

6. You're fun-size. Because we all know good things come in small packages :P

7. You always have a friend you can look up to. I bought a shirt that said that in junior high, and I thought it was adorable. And also true. Talk about looking on the bright side of thing ;)
