The Challenges of Being Short
Being a short person, you become pretty conscious of the handicaps that come from being vertically challenged. Things that most people can reach easily, I have to get a stool for. It’s particularly annoying in the grocery store and the kitchen. I remember hating it so much as a kid that I just fixated on it. I would do things like try to figure out how to jump higher. I even got in on the platform shoe craze when I was a teen. Now that I’m grown, I’ve mostly adapted. It’s still a pain to have to reach, but it’s sort of a bonus that I can shop in the teen department.
