Left handed-ness

We're not that rare and practically the same as our righthanded fellow men! But on the other hand I just don't feel like proclaiming like you do because I never felt like I standed out because of my lefthandedness. It was never made a big deal so it just isn't anything too special in my reality.

 

We are all rare and beautiful beings, some of us just dont know it yet!

 

Oh I thought you just ment lefthanded people

 

All while growing up i did get noticed as a 'lefty'.... like whenever we played baseball in school i never had a glove because we had no left handed ones... and i was the only one. So that there kind of singled me out, along with many other things.. i'd hold the bat differently, catch and throw with the opposite hand as everyone else.. and when we did high-jump i'd have to line up on the opposite side as everyone else because that's the way i had to jump from, etc.. a bunch of things like that. Plus in class all the teachers wouldn't let me write in pen because my hand would smudge the ink, but whenever i wrote in pencil my hand just smudged the led anyways...

But that was just elementry school, by the time i got to highschool, even middle school, i adapted quite well to all the right handed things, it was pretty normal lol, it was just hard starting out because you're a little kid used to doing everything with your left hand at home.. then you go to this new school and everyones telling you that you're doing it wrong and need to switch hands, it's rediculous, but i take pride in my left handedness...

I'm not visually creative either... I can't draw, paint, or make any form of art or music very well at all... Yet i have so much creativity in my head, that i just can't get out! I visualize a masterpiece, but soon forget it because i know there's no way i'd be able to make it. But... there's an exception, for those of you who are creative yet not artistic, you can write! I love writing

 

You speak for yourself pal! I have LOTs of people tell me I'm 'special'!










...oh....

 

nvm..

 

I am glad you reminded me I was told off so many times for smudging my work as a kid, you learn to write above the page, its awkward and certainly doesnt free flow like a right handed writer - I remember getting cramp a good few times , yet I write too and am creative in so many other ways.

I used to wish I could paint as the images and creations that come into my head, if only I could get them down on paper.. I find that a bit frustrating. Like I am creating a booklet for my workshops, although i have to wait on a very busy friend to get a moment in her life to illustrate it...
Maybe I need to try harder, a need a kick in the pants!

 

Drawing and painting is all about practice. I haven't painted in years cause I found it too frustrating that it looked like a child's work... and that while I can draw pretty good (if I may say so myself ). I just don't have the skill to apply paint on paper the way I want it.
Nobody can get a picture in their mind on paper the way they want by trying to do so unskilled. It's all in practicing and developing your drawing style.
