Let it go ; ♥

This is a not exactly the arty-farty topic but it certainly relates a little on the artistic expression in me.

Recently, I realized that that I am unable to express myself vocally or good at putting ideas across and that had made some people crossed with me. (Sorry, people!)

I had also noticed that my ideas are so abstracted that no one seems to understand. That had some how depressed me. It is quite hard for me to express my simple emotions. I had fit the list of the left column below; that is something that a left brain person will not understand. (That sounds confusing!)

I kept wondering of my former co-worker who had understood my every intention and reasoning with me that I was a leftie. She is a leftie herself. It had never crossed my worried mind that being a left-handed had affected my interactions with people who are not. Well, I do now.

She is one person who does not know how to use the scissors and has the most interesting ideas. I loved talking to her; its her ideas made me so excited about trying stuff out there.

Well, she is certainly not the only left-handed person that I had knew who was unable to use a pair of scissors.
I had missed her presence.

Today, I had done a reading on left-handedness. In fact, with the little information that on side-effects of being one, I understood why I am different. It is just not all about the physical difference that was always mentioned.

I am proud to say that I am normal as a leftie can be.

The difference of being a leftie and not:
