Today is a somewhat special cubing anniversary for me. As of today, I have now been a speedcuber for half my life.
When I was younger I would sometimes wonder what I would be doing in double my life span. So when I was 9 for example, I would wonder what my life would be like at 18. When I was 10 I would wonder what life would be like at 20.
Right around the time I first started cubing I realized that this was a hobby I cared a lot about. I wondered then what life would be like at double my life span and whether I would still be cubing or not. I started cubing June 10th 1998 when I was 14 years old, and today is double my life span from that day. I am happy to say that I still enjoy cubing just as much now as I did then
It's crazy to me how such a small puzzle can make such a big difference in your life. I have made so many new friends because of cubing. I have traveled the world because of cubing, going to places internationally that I never would have imagined I would see. I've won, and lost, in the final round of a big event and felt the feelings of triumph and of failure and subsequent motivation to improve that these bring. This hobby has been such a large part of my life for so long and I wanted to celebrate this moment by posting about it on the forum here.
To those who are just starting out as cubers, I hope you find the enjoyment you're looking for whether you cube for just a year or two, a few years, or for many years. I wonder now if I'll still be a cuber when I'm 58
