Steem Retrogames : Play, Earn, and Have Fun! 🧠💰 One of my favorite games.

Assalamu Alaikum,

Today started quite normally. After taking a break from my daily work, I got back into that familiar retro game. Which I have played many times before. The colorful blocks, the familiar sound, and the smell of that old memory all combined to make it feel like time had gone back a little. This game is not just a game for me, it is like a silent battle with myself.

As soon as I started playing, my mind slowly went to another world. All the thoughts around me, the fatigue of work, the accumulated stress of the day, everything seemed to remain outside the skin. My eyes were only on the blocks, my fingers were quickly deciding which block to place where to save space.

Which one to place would cause problems in the future, these calculations were going around in my head in an instant. I have played this game many times before, sometimes I got a good score, sometimes the game was over halfway. But today's game was different. Today it felt like I and the game were breathing together.

With each block I landed, I was becoming more alert. I was trying to avoid small mistakes because I knew that one mistake would mean the end. The colored blocks were slowly filling the screen. Somewhere yellow, somewhere green, somewhere purple, a strange and beautiful chaos. Yet, I was finding order in that chaos. In the moments when the line was cleared, it felt like I was clearing up small complications in my life. I was looking at the score, and an excitement was working inside me.

My head was spinning, will I be able to surpass all the previous records today? My hands were shaking a little but my mind was steady. I was telling myself that I shouldn't lose patience. Suddenly that moment came, the word Game Over appeared on the screen. I felt bad for a moment, but then all my feelings changed when I saw the line. Score 718.

I just stared at the screen for a few seconds. This is my score today. It seemed that this is not just a number, it is the result of my patience, attention, and repeated attempts. All the previous failures, the desire to give up halfway, the answer to everything, this score seemed to be the answer to everything. A smile came to my face without my knowing it. Although I could not score much higher than many, this is the most valuable thing for me.

What I can do with my own effort is a lot to me. This little game reminded me again that life is like that, which is not always available. You cannot be perfect all the time, but if you keep trying, if you can maintain focus and patience, one day you can reach your highest score. Today's score of 718 may not be a big deal for many, but for me it is a small victory. Today I took a little further in my fight with myself and this feeling is the biggest reward.
