Being short is great, but there are things that people say that we know all so well. Being short is not something that we can control, it is something that we are born with. I believe it is a blessing to be short. I am five foot one and I love being short. There are perks and there are downsides, but when you are as short as me, you learn to live with the perks. So, I have comprised five things that us short girls know all to well.
1. The saying, "Why are you so close to the steering wheel? "

To answer this question, it is to be able to reach the pedals. Without being able to move the seat, the car does not run. So yes, I have to move the seat close.
2. Not being able to hide your eyes from the sun with a visor

We have all been here. The sun is nice and pretty, but super bright. The next thing to do is to bring down the visor to shield our eyes. But, truth be told, it does not work! No matter how much we move the visor the sun will always be in our eyes. Then there is the move of moving your body up, down, left, right, and backwards, trying to fit our eyes to a shade.
3. Not being able to reach the top shelf

Being able to reach the top shelf is a struggle. No matter how hard you reach you can't reach it, then you go all the way to the tippie toes and that still does not work. Then we avert to the stool, the chair, opening up cabinets to make a stairway to the shelf. If that does not work, then we go to the last resort, ask for help. Asking for help is a pride thing honestly.
4. Everyone is taller than you

No matter how short you are, there is always someone taller than you. There was a time when I was talking to my brother about how everybody is taller than me he tells me, "Heidi, being taller than you is not an accomplishment, it's gonna be everyday someone is taller than you". It is true, everyone is taller. But when you find someone who is shorter than you, well that is kind of an accomplishment.
5. Tall girls always complaining to us about how we always get the tall guys

Yes, yes here is the most thing I was always see or hear. Girls who are taller than me complaining about how us short girls get the tall guys. But to be fair, there really is nothing we can do about that. We can't make ourselves grow taller. We have to work with what we got and hey, my boyfriend is a foot taller than me. It happens.
