    When I went through my Rubik’s cube hyperfixation phase, I got really good at it over the course of a month or two. I could consistently solve a 3x3 in under a minute, and my record was something like 40 seconds.

    Then I put it down for a few weeks and could not solve it when I picked it back up. I never got back into it, lmao

      I once perfected the ability to roll a quarter across my fingers. I worked on it for months and months. I was getting pretty fast at it. An opportunity came to show off the trick to one of my son’s friends. I pulled a quarter out of my pocket with such confidence. Then proceeded to fumble the fuck out of it. *sigh. That was embarrassing.
