I wrote a post almost two years ago about how I wish I was 5 foot 6 (I’ve been reading back on some of my older posts that I can rework and refresh for my newer readers) and thought this would be a fun one to revamp for you all – because apparently I’ve decided that the internet needs ANOTHER POST ABOUT BEING A SHORT GIRL. So here’s why I wish I was a little bit taller (I wish I was a baller… lol jk, I’m terrible at sports).
I could wear flares and not worry about looking like a little dumpling, drowning in fabric. I don’t know what it is, but wearing flared trousers instantly makes me look like someone chopped half a foot off of my legs so I’m this four foot nothing bundle of fabric.
I could buy regular trousers, dresses, skirts (anything really) from a regular store range and not worry about taking them up because I’m a short arse. I do a lot of sewing for friends and family, so taking the hems up on clothing is a pretty standard thing for me to do – but when it comes to my own clothes I CANNOT be bothered.
I could reach things on the top shelf in the kitchen and not have to hear Aaron chuckling away, watching me struggle until he waltzes over with his 6 foot 5 self and grabs what I want. Normally to save face, I jump up to sit on the kitchen side, turn around and am able to grab what I’m after – being this small requires lots of work arounds for day to day things.
I wouldn’t have a constant shower head struggle everyday with Aaron putting it on the highest point and me having to drag it all the way back down if I don’t want to wash my hair that day (or give the entire bathroom a shower- this happens whenever he showers *eyeroll*).
Tights wouldn’t reach my my bra when I pull them up to stop them looking saggy fanny like – I’ve found this happens with thinner, cheaper tights so maybe I need to rethink where I’m buying them from…
I wouldn’t get lost so easily in a crowd – not that my hypochondriac self goes out a lot anymore (maybe I should do a post on that too lol), but it’s a pain in the arse if I ever get lost.
Despite all of this – I don’t think I’d truly enjoy being tall. Being little is who I am and although it’s very annoying at times – I wouldn’t change it for the world.

lol omg this is too funny. I’ve always liked being short, but I totally feel ya on the reaching the top shelf in the kitchen thing (I have a step stool lol) & OMG the tights thing, SO true!
I know right?!! Our kitchen isn’t big enough to keep a stool in there all the time and LOL at the tights saga 😂😂
Totally feel u girl being short can be frustrating and u cant wear everything u want coz evn im only just 5″0′ myself evn i wish i ws atleast 5″5′. I so wish i ws a bit athletic when i ws a kid to get an extra boost to my body growth lol 😂
Hahah tell me about it!! I always joke that I would be at least 2 inches taller if I didn’t have scoliosis 😂😂
Well the thing is as a kid i actually use to grow like crazy and faster than almost all kids and i ws like the third most tallest girl in my class and also taller than many boys too but in 5th grade my growth actually slowed down and in 6th grade it stopped 😂😂 and everybody else grew taller 😂😂😂😂
