I'm 5’2" (and a half) and have learned that there are several things that only short people will understand.

Some of these things fall short of being positive, but you just have to keep looking up.

1. Not being able to reach things on the top shelf

And probably doing slightly dangerous things so you can reach

2. Rarely having to duck

Ducks are birds, not actions you have to do to go through doorframes

3. Having others use you as an armrest

I'm not a piece of furniture

4. Always being visible in a group photo

Unless you get shoved to the back

5. Awkward selfies with anyone taller than you

No matter how hard you try, one of you won't look good in the picture

6. You have a good excuse to wear high heels

That doesn't mean you have an excuse for not being able to walk in them though

7. Having to tailor all your clothes

Demin flippers happen often

8. Mastering the art of standing on your tippy-toes

Tip-toe through the tulips? How about tip-toe so you can reach anything

9. Cooking turns into a workout

At least I can stand on the counters without hitting my head on the ceiling

10. Always having to adjust the seat before driving

Unless you don't want to see over the dashboard

11. Always getting the middle seat during road trips

Just because I have shorter legs doesn't mean I like sitting in the middle

12. You have the best perspective on life

If you're short, things are always looking up

13. Knowing that things only grow until they're perfect

Being short is perfect
