Feeling emotional as I type this out.
1 year ago, I left my full-time web2 job. I was confident about doing so since I was earning a stable, comfortable salary from different projects in web3 - even though I wasn’t hired under any specific agency. I ate good. The kids ate good.
6 months ago, I started losing every project in my portfolio. Some died. Others said “we’ve minted, we’re building, we don’t need you anymore.”
The standard of living in Singapore is painfully high. With 2 kids in tow, I depleted all my savings in 2 months. I started liquidating everything. Took loans on every valuable NFT I had. Sold every token. Sold every irl asset I had, save for my house and laptop. I was crashing.
I applied for jobs in web3 thinking my past experience was enough - but it wasn’t.
Then I found @surgence_io… and I found hope again. I found my drive again. I felt motivated, more than ever - like I had smth worth fighting for, and even more to protect.
I’m incredibly grateful to still be in web3 - to have the freedom to work from anywhere and still be present for my kids. Being able to watch them grow and really spend time with them means everything to me.
It took all this for me to finally understand: when one door closes, another really does open.
To those who believed in me and supported me through the darkest times - thank you, from the bottom of my heart. You know who you are.
It’s my comeback arc now.
