Once upon a time, I was a frontend developer with a passion for writing, torn between two worlds. I loved coding because of the pride and joy it brought. Seeing a website you built come alive is an indescribable feeling. But life doesn’t always go as planned. One Friday evening, while working on a project, my laptop suddenly malfunctioned.
After getting it fixed, it broke down again a week and three days later. This time, I was told my laptop’s graphics card and motherboard were damaged and needed replacement. The repair cost was beyond my means. Defeated and overwhelmed, I returned home with a heavy heart.
For days, I was offline, left alone with my thoughts, unsure of how to bounce back. Two weeks later, while scrolling through my WhatsApp messages, I came across a writing contest announcement in the PronounsDAO community. Curious and motivated, I followed the link to Telegram and then to Twitter. That’s where I discovered "t2wrld,", a platform I hadn’t heard of before. It felt like a new beginning. Despite not writing for a long time, I decided to take a leap of faith and enter the contest.
Navigating t2wrld wasn’t easy at first, especially on my mobile phone. I had to switch to desktop mode on my browser settings, but I was determined. Day by day, I explored the platform, learned its features, and grew more comfortable. Eventually, I submitted my first post for the contest, and that was the start of my t2wrld journey.
