More Than Creativity: The Additional Benefits and Perks of Being a Lefty

I absolutely loved reading this article explaining how left handed people work differently because it explains so much about me. I now appreciate being a lefty. Never really thought too much of it before. It was usually just a pain in the ass, like when my little league coach used to make me to crowd the plate to get hit by the ball cause I was the only lefty in the league. yeah — being left-handed is often like that. Grabbing the locked door every single time you walk out of a double-door because your work only unlocks the one on the right (lazy bastards). Until now never put much thought into how my left handed brothas and sistas make up only 11% of the population, which explains why everyone seems to make a big deal when they see me write, or draw, or open a door, or whatever. To me I couldn’t imagine doing any of these things differently and have never really stopped to think about my left-handed-ness. Don’t know of anyone else in my family that’s a lefty which makes me an even bigger freak…not even my two kids (at least not yet but I keep holding on to hope!).
