Ever Feel Like the World’s Not Built for You?

That’s the lefty life — resilient and rare.

Did you know? Today is International Left-handers Day.

Being left-handed in a right-handed world?
Not always easy. Not always fun.
Opening doors becomes an adventure.
Writing in spiral notebooks? A challenge.
Using right-handed scissors? Pure frustration.
Bumping elbows at the dinner table? Daily.
Smudging ink while writing? Always.
But here’s the thing about lefties (at least I like to believe it’s all true!):

We’re creative thinkers.
We’re problem solvers.
We’re adaptable.
We’re resilient.
We’re unique (only 10% of the population.)

And guess what? We’re in good company:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was left-handed.
Albert Einstein too.
Bill Gates? Yes.
Marie Curie? Also a leftie.

To all my fellow left-handers out there: You’re special. You’re amazing. You see the world differently.

And to right-handers:

Thank you for your patience when we bump elbows. 😊

P.S. Are you also proud to be left-handed? 🖐️

  1. So true Christine! When I started
    going to school, I was forced to write with my right hand. It was just terrible!
