I've said it before and i'll say it again. You can never quit cubing, only take a break that feels like quitting before eventually coming back. Keep it up king
This was cool. Life has a funny way of reminding us that people and relationships are the most important things. All the best with (the continuation of) your cubing journey!
I remember at my first comp I saw you get the 1.56 on skewb and the 5.71 on 3x3, and after finding your TH-cam channel, I was so impressed with your times in all your events. You really inspired me to keep practicing when I was starting out, and I even bought your main 3x3 so I could be just like you. You’re one of the biggest reasons I’m still cubing today, so I’m actually so happy to have you back. Hope to see you at a comp sometime soon!
There are times I feel super burnt out on cubing. I don't want to do it anymore and I don't enjoy competing like I used to, but seeing lifelong friends and hanging out with them is what makes it worth it. Great video!
hey dude you're not alone. although not as "important", i went to heartland champs with heartland squan champ as a goal, as i grinded it for ~7 years prior, always wanting to be a champion. i got 9 (good fists 💀), 7, 6, 6, then mistraced and got a 14, with sub 7 bpa. i was heartbroken and lost by .04, and genuinely wanted to quit, but i kept going because i loved my friends. the next comp i was reluctant to go but, similar to you, realized that the community was amazing and haven't wanted to quit since. i also +2'd out of 6.60 WR23 a week ago but whatever it is what it is 😔
the thing with cubing is, you may lose track of why you're doing it, when you just miss your goal or like lose your pb streak. then it's indeed a good thing to just step out for a bit and try to get back to realizing you do it for the people, and making friends and getting prs and learning things from each other. that's why i love cubing sooo much, because almost everyone is just so supportive and people really want to help each other and it's given me and so many other people a community with people that actually like to hang out with me, where other places have failed to do so (school, sports and even summer camps where there were more people like me, with autism and stuff)
I’m sorry that that happened and that you weren’t able to have fun with cubing for a while, I definitely have had my fair share of burn out. I’m glad you are starting to have more fun cubing now, good luck moving forward Darren, I hope when you have the chance to full commit again you pull off something amazing. Good Luck!
man like i took a 2 yr break from cubing... i never go to comp cuz i have an average of 32 like taking a break helps before my break i had a 40 second average
I mean that is very fair I do think about stoping being an online creative and heloping people... When times get tough and I get very sad... But it's just not worth it to give up on somthing you love just because someone hurt your feeling or in your case you lost your first big tornmet.. Which think of all those alets that goting the oplics when it got cancled because covid for no reason atleast not at the cost to those alhltes who qulfied for the ompics but are not olpenens because it got delayed... Which I don't thibk any of them quite because their life goal that you have be insannly lucky and skilled to get was ripped away from them last second... As they got to that level in their sport because of the sport not the olipics... Which you learned an important life lesion.. just because you are not successful in the way you dreamed does not mean your a failure... That's something a shocking amount of youtubers need to learn...
