One of these I'm gonna move out and you'll both be crawling back to me!" Did she move out? No. Did my mother and I come crawling back to my sister?

finger-breaking, brain-grinding, eye-melting hours spent to just group six colours into their individual side, is the most satisfying feeling ever. This is what happened to me three years ago, and that last satisfying ‘U prime’ which lead to the first completion of a Rubik’s Cube, just made it “ma thang”. There was a great amount of time put into that same Rubik’s Cube afterwards, and my new goal was to get faster at it. While breaking through my limits, I realized that I have been able to…
