Life is a race. And it’s difficult to run that race with tiny legs. Especially when people around you keep telling you to keep up. Being short is tough. But being a short girl like me is even tougher. Here’s what we go through everyday.
1. Heels are painful and make our feet hurt. But for us, they are a way of life.
