My juggling life During the school summer holidays, I wanted something to do, I thought let’s try juggling, now that's something new l was patient I started off slow, I knew I had a long way to go If you drop, you done nothing wrong You just pick up, start again and carry on I love this hobby, because I can do it on my own It’s funny when I am juggling, I never feel alone During lockdown, I juggled at home, the garden and in the park. I got good, even though during though times were quite dark. I love throwing these objects, up in the air, I realised that, this was good for my self-care Last year I finally went to a convention, I was really happy, It was great, I was surrounded by jugglers just like me.
