Foreword
*
I was a gambler in secret, a believer of chances and sheer dumb luck. I lay my cards with no other thought in my head but winning. No strategies. No tricks. No magic. A 50:50 martingale.
This is how I lived, and I may never understand how I lived by chance alone, but to feel that I have lived makes it all worth it.
*
I am a realist, bathed in a universe made up of lies. A cynic. A believer of tragic endings. I am a contradiction of my own self. I conceal my tears with a smile and my smile with a tear.
This is how I lived, and I may never understand how I lived behind a mask, but to feel safe in this world, makes it all worth it.

Would you mind looking into my daydream? Would you mind giving me a chance to share another story? If you let me, maybe I can fire up your brains once again and rekindle that spark in your hearts. I hope you give this story a chance although I don't really know what I'm doing yet. Happy reading!
