Lefties in the Righties World….

Its not easy to be in the minority of lefties in the righties community. Everything seems ….confusing for us lefties. ( FYI : Im a left handed) Most of us are facing hard time even doing simple things like sharpening pencils, using scissors, handling knives ( cutting veges etc) . Why?? Because most of the blades were design only for normal righties. *sigh*

When i was young, it was hard for me to cut a paper in straight line using scissors. i prefer to use a ruler instead ( eventhough the edges wud be jagged). And drawing straight line freehandedly was almost impossible for me ( now im getting much better …a little) . And i even used to eat using my left hand. But now, occasionally, when i forgot.

Im not sure about the rest of the lefties, but as for me im PROUD to be one. Not that i like being a weirdo ( who does?) but i take it as a ‘unique’ness of me.
