As the days passed, I realized that not playing Valorant had unlocked a new level of inner peace and clarity. My stress levels dropped, and I found myself appreciating the small things in life—like the sound of birds chirping or the gentle rustle of leaves in the wind. Conversations with friends became more meaningful, and I even picked up a few new hobbies that I never had time for before.
I began to understand that life isn't just about chasing ranks or grinding for skins; it's about experiencing the world and finding balance. While I love the thrill of a good clutch or a well-executed strat, there's something profoundly rewarding about stepping back and seeing the bigger picture.
Now, I'm not saying I'm done with Valorant forever—far from it. But this break has given me a new perspective. Gaming is just one part of life, and it should complement my well-being, not consume it. So, when I do return to the battlefield, it'll be with a fresh mindset and a healthier approach.
For now, I'm enjoying this newfound sense of serenity. Who would've thought that a few days away from a game could lead to such a revelation? Sometimes, all it takes is a little distance to see things more clearly. So, here's to balanced living, open third eyes, and the wisdom to know when to step back and recharge. GG, well played, life.
