// If you want something that’s the MOST performant, you might wanna create 
// and pre-populate a couple of timelines that you can toggle between, 
// as demonstrated here: https://codepen.io/GreenSock/pen/nkylt
//
// This way, when someone clicks, there’s no effort in creating tweens or 
// instantiating values – it’s already done and you just restart() the timeline. 
// Super fast.
