It seems to be such a personal thing. Some lefties are quite happy to play right handed. I think I must have a pretty dominant left preference. 
During my journey of struggling I definitely had some doubt in the back of my mind. I found a video online that said however you play āair guitarā should be your natural inclination to handedness. That really got my attention because I always play left. Also pounding out 4/2 time is always left/right for me. Clearly my left side was driving this bus!
I am just so happy to have figured it all out. Having loads of fun playing/learning now! 
Welcome @Kbar
I am a fellow ānaturalā lefty but played right handed for 40 years before I switched to left-handed a little over a year ago. This was because of a left hand injury. I have to say playing left handed feels really foreign to me still after a year. No doubt because of all my time playing righty.
I am glad you made the change early on and good luck on your journey!
Sorry to hear about your hand injury but good for you for making the switch. The hard part is retraining the brain! I love Justinās video on brain plasticity- fascinating stuff.

Hi Kate from a fellow Canadian!
Thatās amazing that you play for an hour a day. I am a bit over three years into my guitar journey and I used to play as much as you. Iāve gotten a bit lazy - do you have any advice how to keep your momentum and interest up? I know I should be practicing Justinās lessons every day!

Hello Kate and welcome to the community. What a big and life-changing decision you made. Iām working with a student just now who has learned righty (due to having a right-handed guitar) but who is considering switching to her (natural) lefty side. Itās great t know it worked out for you.
Hi Kate and welcome!
This is exactly the kind of thing i make people test when they start with guitar and doubt thier handedness. Your dominant hand dictates the rhythm. clapping on your knee, using a spoon on a pot, air guitar, ā¦ if it all feels natural with left, it is pretty clear ;D
Cheers from a fellow lefty
