Leftys world.

The world is made for rightys. According to research about 10% of the world is lefty. Righties dont realize how many thing are made for them and are much harder for leftys. In truth I am not 100% lefty. I mainly write with my right, play sports with my left, brush my teeth with my right, my hair with my left and things like eating or cutting with either hand. I am kind of ambidextrous but my left hand is more dominant. My mother was a lefty as a kid but in public school they put the pen in her right hand since they though using the left hand was a sign of the devil. This was a few decades ago not the middle ages, its so bizarre. Regardless I prefer using my left hand but some times its annoying when things are harder for lefties.

If you have noticed that on mens clothing buttons are on the right hand side and on womens clothing buttons are on the left hand side. Why you may ask? Well when clothing with buttons came out it was a sign of wealth and it was made on the right side so it would be easier for most people, since most of the world is right handed. And for the women who had buttons, they were wealthy and did not dress themselves so the buttons were on the left handed side so it was easier for a right handed maid to dress an upper-class woman. And its stayed that way. Thats just one example of things being for righties. Another one is when I get off my bike, I get off on the other side, since I use the other foot. I have to walk around the bike to put down the kickstand. You probally think thats no big deal and I am alzy, but when you constantly have to do small tasks that righties don't have to do or don't notice it can get frustrating. Why can't you choose when you buy a bike what side the kickstand is on. Can openers are for righties, scissors are for righties. yes you can buy left handed products online but you don't usually have them at your disposal. Unless you have your left handed sports equipment with you when theres any chance of a game of baseball happening, you probally will have to use a righty glove which I dont know how to throw with my right hand. Leftys usually adapt to using some right handed equipment like scissors because thats whats available but why should we?  More things made for righties- cameras, computer mouse, and spiral notebooks among several more. When I elarnt guitar I learnt to play it righty since it was to difficult to find a lefty guitar or get it restringed. Plus whenever someone demonstrates something, such as throwing a football they demonstrate is as righty and its harder to learn. Oh guns are meant for righties, pistols. Rifles you can shoot with either hand. In the big picture, its not a big deal but sometimes its slightly frustrating.

Just friends

This video has been going around the past week. I assume most people have seen it. It made me think since that has been a topic I have been discussing with people over the last few years. I grew up not talking to guys at all/ All girls high school. Didn't start talking to guys till after high school. And when I did, I didn't really know how many boundaries I had to make. When I wanted it to be just friends it would usually turn into a hook-up and occasionally the guy having feelings. Right about now I have what I would call 3 or 4 close guy friends. Most are long distance, so it's easy we talk on the phone once a week, once every other week. And the other ones I haven't known for so long. But I have not been to keep a guy friend for very long because it used to always turn into a hookup or it just got weird after a while. I kind of refuse to believe the video because I don't want to think every guy who is my friend wants to hook up with me. I don't think every guy is attracted to me or interested in that way. And I feel that sounds conceited. 3 of my really good guy friend told me they would hook interested with me. But I don't think every guy is like that. I think the problem is we have to realize that our friendship with guys is different than girls. We have to create more boundaries, be careful not o give them wrong signals. Me just laying on a guys bed is because I am tired not because I am interested. I currently only have guys in my life that I trust and I feel safe in my friendship. I hate how it used to be when good friendships would get ruined because we hooked up or he wanted to hook up. I think guys and girls can be friends. I think it takes self restraint on the guys part and the girl knowing limits of the friendship
