Short, Sweet and Awesome

Short people have some major advantages in life, and I like it that way. Sometimes I really wish I were taller, but in the end I am glad to be who I am. For instance I can get a lot of help, because I am little, and everyone knows that I can't reach the top shelf. I could strategically figure out a way to get it, but sometimes it's nice for someone just to grab it, instead of trying to climb all of the shelves to reach it.

Monica Padman sums up everything in her post "10 things that are awesome about being short." Her list of 10 includes:

1. You are always dating up.
2. Taking a place in the Olympics is in the realm of possibilities for you.
3. If your house is broken into, the hiding options are endless.
4. Don't worry you'll burn it off.
5. The Kid whisperer 
6. The Limbo is easy for you.
7. You don't have to wear flats to prom.
8. You are a walking conversation starter.
9. You are always the most considerate person in the room.
10. You can shop in the kids section.

I agree with everything on the list, because it is all true in the life of a short person. I could rock stiletto heels every single day, but I actually prefer to wear flats, because I honestly have no idea what to do with the extra height. I feel really weird actually looking a normal size person in the eye without looking up.

Most people aren't afraid to talk to me, and I am not afraid to them, because usually the conversation is something about me being super cute and little.  It generally works in my favor, and I am really glad it does. Most of my clients that I do advertising for are willing to work with me, because I am little, and they see me as trustworthy. I get people that weren't interested at first, but after talking with me for a few minutes, they change their minds. I credit my successes to being short and adorable.  

I try my hardest not to step on any toes when I am in a room with a lot of people, and I never get in anyone's way, because I don't take up a lot of space, and if I am in a crowd with tall people I usually disappear, because I am so short.

Being short has its perks. It really does. You just might have to look a little bit to find them.
