You can't get alcohol without an ID card, your friends take you for an arm rest, when cooking you need a small ladder or climbing skills to get to the top shelf.
Do you know this? Then you are probably as small as me :D
But because our size also offers an incredible amount of benefits, here are 17 reasons why I love being so small:
17 reasons why it's great to be small
Store in the children's department
You can save a lot of money if you want to. Children's clothing is available in your size anyway and honestly, no one notices the difference. If you're lucky, you can even buy children's shoes, for sports shoes it really makes a difference monetarily.
High heels? Give it here
My tall friends sometimes do not even want to wear high shoes although they like them. That is not a problem for small women, we are even with high shoes smaller than the rest, so no false shyness, dare quietly.
Hide and seek made easy
Your friends are already super annoyed but no one finds you! No wonder, no one expects you to fit into the small closet at all. In the end, no one wants to look, but you've definitely won. And remember, you are never too grown up to play hide and seek.
Not enough space on the plane? Does not exist
You don't have enough money for business class but your legs still have more than enough room. While your friends have to endure half a yoga stretch and almost don't get up, you happily stretch out your legs.
Crowded concerts? No problem
It's rude to jump the queue. That's true in principle, but not with us. You only have to look suffering to the stage, which you don't see, and the big people already make room because they can look over you, no problem at all.
You fit under any blanket no matter how small
Cold toes? That doesn't happen with you. You're never cold, because blankets that are too small don't exist.
You look younger than you are
Okay the constant showing of ID when you even look at alcohol is a bit annoying but in the long run a younger look is more of a luxury.
Your lower legs are properly trained
Reaching the top shelf, looking up somewhere, examining yourself in the bathroom mirror. You're always on your toes. The result is hammer lower legs and thighs that can be seen.
Crowd surfing candidate deluxe
Are you a festival / concert freak? That people take you on their shoulders or let you crowd-surf is not uncommon, after all you don't weigh much at that size.
Flirting in the supermarket is no problem, you won't get up anywhere anyway.
You don't know how to address someone without using a cheap phrase á la old Bravo magazines? Small people have the advantage here, at least in the supermarket. Just ask him to get you something from the top shelf, if you are lucky a conversation will develop. And if not, then at least you have the cereal in your hand that you wouldn't have been able to get otherwise.
Heavy lugging? Not with the size.
Even when you move, you don't have to ruin your back because no one wants to put the weight of the box on you. Nobody thinks you're lazy, you're just too small :D
High housing prices?
Everyone knows this, the rental prices are getting worse and worse. At least you don't need as much space as others and save good money this way. Even with penthouses you have no problem at all.
For group photos you are always in the center
Sounds a bit narcissistic now, but who doesn't like to be the center of attention sometimes? I do, I admit.
Power Naps go EVERYWHERE
Whether it's on the train, at the airport, at the university, or in the crowded apartment of your friends. You can sleep anywhere no matter how much space there is. I find that pretty handy.
Wind and weather protection
Who does not know, because you are looking forward to the fall or winter and then, when you're finally outside the wind starts to howl and it gets really cold. I always stand in such a case next to someone tall and I already have a shelter from the biting wind.
Or just wear my oversized, super warm, super long parka. Size xs :D
Your personality makes up for the size
Small people = small personalities. Nonsense. We are always good for a surprise.
Mini showers in hotels
Where others bump their heads, you can still shower in comfort.
My conclusion:
Let's face it: being small is great! You don't have to hide because of your size. And now that you have everything in black and white, being small is suddenly even fun, right? :)
