I started Cubing when I was 9 and saw a video on Cuboritums YT Channel and immediately I was hooked so then my parents ordered me a cube and I learnt how to solve one immediately I was addicted and I before I had a tendency to have a hobby for about 2 months then stoping. However I have now cubing for 3 years and those have been the best 3 years of my life which all Started on December 25th 2021 at 18:44 PM
 
Cubing saved me from being one of those "iPad kids" you see in YouTube.

you see, all I used to do was watch YouTube videos, play Roblox, study, play with Beyblades, repeat. That was until I was scrolling on YouTube and saw one of CubeRazn's videos. It appeared on my YouTube feed so many times that i just clicked it, and that's where it all started. I was immediately hooked and coincidentally, it was just a week before my birthday! My parents then bought me an EastSheen 3x3 from toys r us (yes, you heard that right, they have eastsheen 3x3s there). I immediately started learning how to solve it, and on December 14, 2021, i had officially learned how to solve a Rubik's cube! It was interesting how everything lined up: Finding a cubing video when i watched nothing related to it, and it just happened to be my birthday in a few days!
And for the past 3 years, cubing has become one of the greatest things I have ever done, helping me with socializing, dealing with failure, and teaching me how to never give up. Cubing is one of the few hobbies that I have done for a long period of time.

Sometimes, I wonder to myself: "What would my life look like now if I didn't discover cubing?"

Bro same
 
For me, i was instantly hooked on 3/9/23 when i finally first solved it
Similar to @Thomas.Caleb, I had a habit of only having hobbies for a short time, but this one stuck.
Some things this hobby did arent so great for me, tbh, but this has definitely overall been a great experience.
I am also 99% sure i would be one of those kids that havent seen the sun in years playing on roblox or something if not for cubing.
Heck im typing this whilst sat on a field.
Hopefully going to comps can finally rid of my social anxiety as well - its insane how bad it is.
These, almost 2 years, have definitely been the best 2 years of my life, and I hope that they continue to be so.
The community is great too !
Out of all the hobbies ive had or have, this is definitely the most welcoming, kind, and overall incredible community i have ever been in - So glad to be part of it.
Lastly, it has accomplished one of my goals - which hobbies outside of cubing never get accomplished.

This is too cringe now so im ending it by saying that i ha- i mean love megaminx and i was lying the whole time and this has nothing to do with Worlds 2025 and my bets wdym bro i didnt make any bets involving my amazing relationship with megaminx.
