Happy Left-Handers' Day!



“Left-handers are wired into the artistic half of the brain, which makes them imaginative, creative, surprising, ambiguous, exasperating, stubborn, emotional, witty, obsessive, infuriating, delightful, original, but never, never, dull."
-James T. de Kay


Being left-handed has some pros and cons but overall, I've always appreciated being a south paw. It's nice to have little things about yourself that make you unique.

Some things I don't like about being left-handed:

  • Smearing ink, paint, etc. when writing, drawing or using my hands
  • First learning to use a computer mouse with my right hand
  • Everything seems to be designed for righties (scissors for example)
  • Math
  • Desks in college. 99% were styled for righties
  • Nuns think it's associated with the devil

A few things I like about being a lefty:

  • The way my mind is wired
  • Being able to jot down notes with my left hand and use the mouse with my right
  • Using a turn signal is extra easy
  • Being different
  • When strangers point it out and say they're also lefty (instantly something in common)
  • Advantages in sports (I'm ambidextrous with a lot of things)
  • It's on par with my political beliefs
