11 Struggles Short People Can Relate To

Shorty, smalls, short stack. Any nick name referring to my shortness is in the books for me. Probably you too if you're under 5'7". We all have some common ground that we can all relate to. Here's 11 pictures to show taller people what we go through daily:

1. Shopping for pants

Spongebob understands the struggle.


2. Quitting shopping and just going for the "cuffing" method

"I don't have time to find short jeans so I had to cuff them"-a memoir by me featuring short girls everywhere.


3. Walking with friends

One step for you is three steps for me. Remember that when you take monster strides.


4. Being an armrest for taller people

Who thought this was okay??


5. When you want to be intimidating but no one takes you seriously

You will be okay short one. Violence is never the answer anyway.


6. Driving

I can't drive without the seat all the way up and I need to sit as straight as possible so I can see over the dashboard. If I'm lucky, the visor will help me.


7. Short people shirts

I'm confused, short girls do what best? Not being able to reach common household items? Plus, this model looks like she's tall. Does that mean I'm going to wear the shirt like a dress? Too much confusion in one photo.


8. Swimming

I'll just be in the kiddie section where I can actually touch flat footed. Don't mind me.


9. Concerts (or any crowd setting that you have to stand in)

I can hear the music at least..


10. Group selfies

This is a trip I took to the Jersey Shore with my friends. As you can see, to fit the tall people, I am just a face in a corner. Selfie game not so strong.


11. Questions

How am I supposed to answer any of these? Seriously?


Being short sucks but you know what they say, the shorter the girl, the closer to hell.
Get out there, scare some people and assert your shortness!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
