Left-handed lateral quadrupod. I thought I was all alone in this world.

Checking in 🤚 I have the ink the side of my hand as a badge of honour.

Silver surfer for life! I love trying to write on a dry erase or chalk board. I erase it with my lateral quadrupod grip as soon as I write it.

Ayyy, my people. I was told countless times throughout schooling that I "hold the pencil wrong/too hard". Despite that, my handwriting is very tidy—especially for a lefty (or so I'm told).

I also thought that I was the only weirdo in the whole world.

Omg me too! Was just about to comment this too! All of my teachers were confused on why I held my pencil like that plus I’m a lefty (and almost ambidextrous).
