Steem Retrogames : Play, Earn, and Have Fun! 🧠💰 One of my favorite games.
Assalamu Alaikum,
Today's day didn't start with anything special. I didn't realize how time flew by amidst the hustle and bustle of housework, responsibilities, and cooking. I tried to find some time for myself in the evening. I felt like playing Steam retro games again today. This game is not just a game for me, it's a kind of silent battle with myself.
Today, when I started the game, I didn't have any big goal in mind. Thinking of scoring 1500 or 2000 puts unnecessary pressure on myself. I know many people can do it, but I want to start from my place. Slowly, with a calm mind. The beginning always seems easy, the speed of my fingers is right, my eyes are moving in sync, and a confidence works in my mind. But I know from previous experience that this confidence eventually becomes fear. Today was no exception. When the score crossed 500, my mind was light, but a pressure started to build inside.
After crossing 600, I felt a strange feeling in my chest, not happy, but not afraid, like silent excitement. The thought that everything could be over once I opened my eyes was swirling in my head. Still, I didn't stop, I kept telling myself every moment to keep this focus. And right then, when I saw 707 on the scoreboard, I felt like that was my victory for today. Maybe 707 is a very small number for many. But for me, it's not just a score, it's a test of patience today.
This is proof that I haven't given up again. I was able to do a little bit where I had stopped in the previous days. After finishing the game, I sat quietly for a while, leaving my phone aside. It feels like I didn't win anything big today, but I kept a promise I made to myself. I tried and this effort is the most valuable to me. I don't know what the score will be tomorrow, maybe more, maybe less, but I know I will sit down again and try again.
Because this game has taught me that effort is more than numbers and that real victory is not in giving up. Today's 707 may not be the end, it's just another step. Experience doesn't remind me again. Sometimes, overcoming your fears and trying to the end is the biggest success. 707 may not be a record, but it is a testament to my patience, focus, and never give up mentality today. I have learned that real progress comes from pushing myself a little bit every day. As long as there is effort, there will be potential. So I will play again and fight again because this journey has taught me how to conquer myself even within my limits.
