Decision to give up/continue Valorant
I alologize if this isn't a good place to talk about this.
Hello! I was a Music Student who decided to pursue Valorant streaming/content creation over my career choice.
Fast forward to today. I have now stopped playing and have a desire to start playing again. My girlfriend doesn't like the game because she knows I let it sort of take my college from me. I say I was passionate about it, but for many people, it was excessive play time.
So. I started on a trackball and hit high Diamond 3 almost Ascendant 1. Then continued to grind on a mouse for a little while afterwards. I have the dedication to improving and working on getting better.
However, is it a good idea for me to play again? I know I haven't had the best habits before, and honestly it isn't the best for my relationship either. My girlfriend has seen my playtime consume sections of my life before. I am wanting to play again, but it will likely grow beyond my self control again if I do.
What do you think?

If I can accomplish all of my day to day activities then is it too obsessive to play the game 3-5 hours a day? It's difficult to draw the line between passion and obsessive, because I have shown obsessive signs with the game before.
It's better to honestly just focus on your actual life not revolving around valorant. In a few years valorant won't really get you anywhere in life unless you become a big streamer or something, but if you're just looking to play for fun or in free time play around 3 games a day that's what I do.
I gotcha
Thank you
try to focus on college, if your girlfriend can see that your playtime is consuming sections of your life, thats most definitely addiction. Focus on real life and school first then after you graduate and are happy with your life, you can start to play games again and go all out when your older assuming you have built the self control
