So... I know that I am short, I mean I have been this way for a while now and I don't really plan on getting any taller anytime in the future. This is something that I have learned to accept about myself and have learned to appreciate. I feel like being short gives me the sense that I am a nice person or that I am harmless, two things of which are true at times. Sometimes being short has its advantages like people aren't going to ask you to reach something for them. But sometimes being short makes situations quite strange.
The other day a man came to my house and asked me if my parents were at home. I have been asked at the gas station if I were even old enough to drive a car. I have been IDed to make sure I am the age that I tell them. Typically I brush things off my shoulder but I understand I am short, I can't reach things that are on high shelves, I have to push my seat up in the car, and I can't reach the floor in many chairs.
Being short means that I fit better in little kid chairs. I am closer to the children's level for hugs, kisses, tickles, and secrets. So for me being short is an advantage for my career choice, which I love.

Your shortness is perfect on you! And like you said, perfect for what you are meant to do with your life!:)
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog while surfing and, I couldn't help but laugh at the guy asking if your parents were home! I always get that on the phone - I guess my voice isn't "grown up" enough!
