Glad to hear that Yo-Yoing has gotten you through some hard times. It definitely is good stress relief!
At age five the yoyo was as much of an imaginative toy as it was a yoyo. It was always with me. I remember believing if I could land a trapeze, I could accomplish anything. I still remember the moment I landed my first trapeze on that red imperial. I still believe it to be one of the most exciting moments of my yoyo evolution.
For me the yoyo has always been a boredom destroyer. I just don’t sit well, stand in line well, or just hang out, I need something to do. Out comes the yoyo! Puts me in a better state of mind and raises my spirits.
I’m not certain where yoyo has taken me but I must say I have taken the yoyo everywhere.The yoyo and I are still attatched by a string and it’s part of my daily life as it has been since I was five. I try not to over think it, just do what I love, love what I do.
