“Skateboarding. I thought jumping on a skateboard “Ollie” will literally take a couple of hours to learn, yet it took many days to do it while moving and it still looked f—king awful. Flipping a skate in the air while it does 360 took me 2 years to learn. Then there’s a stance called Switch, which is basically doing the same trick but in uncomfortable stance for you, different leg front. Learning to Switch 360 Flip and grind/slide on rails in that stance will take years and years of practice.”—awgepizza

“Cashiering. I didn’t realize how much it drained your soul, and almost didn’t come back from it. I don’t even know why it was so hard on me. The work itself was extremely easy- but I always got so depressed and after shifts I was exhausted. If I hadn’t quit I think I would’ve destroyed my mental health.”—Cupcakebearxxxx

“Pen spinning. In high school, I knew a girl who used to spin it like this and it was awesome to watch. I didn’t see what was so hard about it until I attempted it myself. It took a few months of daily practice, along with using finger muscles that I wasn’t used to using, but I’m now able to do it without thinking.”—symbiosa
