I’m 5’4" which is pretty average but when I’m with someone who is 5’2 i feel like a giant. It’s only 2 inches but I’m suddenly like “Here, let me reach that for you,” even if I have to atand on my tiptoes and pull a muscle to get it.
5’4” is so tall to me. I’m down here looking up at taller people like “is the air thinner up there? can you see forever? will you please grab me that box from the not-unreasonably-high-but-too-tall-for-me cupboard?”
It’s really not that tall though. I see it as just tall enough to not be inconvenienced constantly but a step stool is still an essential part of my kitchen even if I set it up myself so that nothing I use daily is on those stupid higher shelves. And it means putting things as close as possible to the front of the higher shelves.
I remember standing on my step stool once, looking into that useless cabinet above the stove, and being like. Oh so this is what it’s like to be 6 feet tall. You can just, see the back of cabinets.Seriously though people 5’ and under make me feel like Brienne of Tarth. I bet actual tall people can see the tops of your heads.
….I go between 4’11.75" and 5’.
I feel so called out right now
Such smol beans in this world.
5′4, to me, is tiny. Those are the people who call me away from my books to get things from the second shelf of the cabinet. I was that height in fourth grade, iirc. It was when my mother and I were eye-to-eye.
Now I am 5′11 and the saddest thing is that I can’t wear high heels. I always loved wearing heels, the higher the better. Four inches was always my preference. It makes people uncomfortable (psychologically and physically) to look at a 6′3 woman, so I have to go without my beloved shoes.
My smols, you can always put on super cute heels!
1) I’M GONNA FIGHT YOU
2) WEAR ALL THE HEELS, I AM V V IN AWE OF TALL LADIES
3) no really please wear heels to compensate for the fact that I live in flats and sneakers and the occasional boot
