I hope you’ll forgive me for what I’m about to say. It hasn’t been an easy decision, and it’s been weighing on my heart for a long time.

Today, I’m letting go of something that has defined me, challenged me, and stolen countless hours of my life: I’m quitting Counter-Strike

I know this will come as a shock to you. No more late-night games where you thought I was studying. No more loud “headshot!” screams coming from my room. And yes, you’ll never hear me rage over hackers again.

CS has been a journey. I’ve faced cheaters, toxic teammates, and moments of pure joy when I finally ranked up (just to derank again the next day). But now, it’s time for me to say goodbye.

Mom, I’m ready to move on to a brighter future.

Thank you for always believing in me. This isn’t just an end—it’s a new beginning.

Sincerely,
Mustafa
