You Think You're Chasing Glory? I'm Just Trying to Stay Alive After Midnight

I used to think winning meant chasing neon lights—engine roars at 2 a.m., big bets, flashy wins. I thought that was success.

Then one night, after losing three times in a row, I stepped away from the screen. Not because I was broke—but because I finally heard my own breath.

The casino doesn’t reward you with jackpots. It rewards you with silence. The RNG algorithm doesn’t care if you’re rich or desperate—it just spins. And sometimes, that spin is all you need to feel human again.

I don’t play games anymore. I ritualize them: one coffee cup at 3 a.m., Rs.10 bet, no rush. My ‘luxury car’ is this quiet corner of my apartment where the streetlight glows just right—not loud enough to wake anyone else.

My parents taught me: success isn’t inherited. It’s chosen—between two cultures, two languages, two versions of yourself.

I’m not a car king. I’m not even trying to be one.

I’m learning how to lose well—and still show up tomorrow.

If you’ve ever sat alone past midnight wondering if this was worth it… drop a comment below.

What was your last breakdown? Was it on the track—or between breaths?
