I absolutely dread handshakes. And since I live in a society in which a firm handshake is the social norm upon meeting new people, I’m not too fond of expanding my current network. By nature I’m an introvert, but I often wonder how much of my introversion is really nurture – the chicken and the egg. Do I dislike meeting new people because I’m rather introverted or am I introverted because I dislike meeting new people (since meeting new people…

In my world the deciding factor for whether I participate in an activity or not sometimes comes down to my hand. If the activity will draw attention to my right hand, changes are I’m going to pass.

I managed to hurt my wrist while washing the dishes today! That likely sounds insane to most, but it’s a true story (and thankfully a first). Washing the dishes can be difficult. I am left handed; my usual method is to hold the object in my left hand and hold the sponge in my…

Most teens, girls at least, ensure a time of extreme self consciousness about their bodies. Whether they have what culture deems a “perfect body” or not so perfect, most are quick to notice their faults and are overly concerned with what others think. I was no different. Then there is the concern about what guys will think. And will a guy ever want to marry someone like me, as if we don’t all have physical imperfections to one degree or another….
