I accidentally took off on Runway XY instead of Runway YX. I was holding short of XX/XY at intersection B. I was cleared to take off; and thought I need to double check the runway because this takeoff intersection is unusual as my plane is stored at the FBO on the other side of the runway. When I was cleared to takeoff; ZZZ also had a much larger plane cleared to taxi to YX. I usually try to be curious to the larger aircraft at ZZZ because we have a large diversity of operators and types at this airport. I didn't double check my heading with the runway as I normally do because I 'self-rushed' even though there was no need to have hurried. I think I subconsciously took the clue from the YX-XY runway identifier sign and turned towards the YX numbers which instruct the pilot what direction to turn to get to the YX approach end. This had me turned around. I caught my own mistake once airborne. At that time I apologized to the Tower Controller and asked how I should maneuver to fix my mistake. I will also say that currency and proficiency may be an issue here. Normally by this time of year I would have had over to 20 hours under my belt; Because of COVID-19; I only had 8.
Pilot reported taking off in the wrong runway direction.
