A nice thing about being left handed is there a few things I can't get precious about. Fountain pens are never going to feature in my life as I'll just smudge everything. Similarly, I'll never end up collecting gaming mice as most of them are not usable for lefties.

- hiworld6543 3mo agoLearn to write backwards. That talent is far more accessible to lefties, for whom artistic expression and fine motor skills are both on the same side of the brain. Or write in one of the Semitic or Western Asian languages, which are right-to-left. You’ll never smudge and you’ll be able to enjoy fountain pens.
