Why I Stopped Chasing Lucky Stars—And Found Myself in the Game

I used to think winning was everything.

Growing up in Islington, raised by parents who believed luck was coded in the stars, I chased ‘Aries Glory’ like it was destiny—spending £50 a night on games that promised cosmic rewards. I’d check win rates like horoscopes, convinced that if only I bet enough, the universe would smile back.

But here’s what changed: last month, while scrolling through player forums at 2am (yes, I was tired), I stumbled on a simple truth—this wasn’t gambling. It was grief dressed as fun.

I started asking: What am I really chasing? Not jackpots. Not multipliers. Not even ‘Starfire Bonus’. It was the quiet rhythm between spins—the pause before the wheel turns. The space between losses where my breath steadied.

So now? I play differently.

I choose low-risk games with names like ‘Stellar Haven’—not because they pay more, but because they let me breathe. When I win? Nice. When I lose? Also nice. Because now it’s not about winning—it’s about showing up.

I joined the ‘Starlight Warriors’ community last Tuesday. Shared my first screenshot without captions. No filter. Just me—and a blinking constellation on my screen.

You don’t need to chase stars to feel cosmic.

You just need to stop running long enough—to hear your own heartbeat.
