So like the first year of cubing, um, as I was like chasing those, those goals and, you know, you see yourself improving so quickly.
basically all of my free time would be practicing, right? So coming home from school, you know, do whatever little homework I would have at that age and then whatever else I had to do.
But the majority of the time from when I got home, just practicing, grinding every day.
And at the beginning of that year, There were a lot of competitions locally, almost on like a monthly basis for a good six months.
Then by the time I got to like about a year, there was a period of time for some, for one reason or the other, there were basically no competitions around.
It was kind of like just an annoying thing, right? Like, I just wish that at the time there were competitions for me to, As I said, continue showing like how fast I was getting at home.
But I think that combined the lack of competitions combined with practicing so much for that first year got me to a point where I just, you know, lost, I guess.
passion for it for a period of time also at that age I was also trying to balance like oh I want to be like more of a normal kid go hang out with my friends more and stuff stuff like that as well so I think that kind of led to me After the first year, the next year or so, not really practicing much at all.
And then after that, I think even when I got back into it, it was never to the degree that I was practicing.
At the beginning, it was always a more moderated, more balanced and healthy, I guess, schedule of practice, you know, and also not just solely focusing on cubing as I was at the beginning.
