As a passionate gamer, I started my CS:GO journey in August 2016. The allure of in-game skins owned by friends and foes alike soon caught my eye, leading me to invest $25 in my steam wallet for my first loadout. Among these purchases was an AWP Worm God-a skin I still possess and cherish-even after six years.

Fast forward a year, and the novelty of my budget loadout began to wane. This prompted me to delve into trading for more coveted skins. With an additional $70 investment, I acquired my first knife—a Gut Knife Doppler Phase 3 from Bitskins.

After that, I dove into real money trading. From being entrusted with buying my first case keys to acquiring Dragon Lores and eventually owning the prestigious #1 Butterfly Sapphire, my journey through the world of Counter-Strike is still ongoing.

Today you can still find me hardstuck 20,000 in Premier and Level 5 faceit, but damn if my inventory doesn't look good doing it.
