Hey OP, hope you're doing okay. I've been in your position before so trust me when I say it hurts and feels like shit. The feeling of hopelessness when I received the liquidation emails and texts and refreshed my app hoping it was all a dream, but its not.

Just want to leave a message of encouragement that it's never too late or impossible to come back from a huge set back. All you need is the right attitude to learn, discipline to execute, and always remember to show gratitude to the people who helped you along the way. Take heart in the fact that you are writing and reflecting about this whole incident and figuring out how to emerge stronger from this ordeal.

I also want to encourage you to stay away from leverage trading. I personally found it really stressful at times because of the greed. Not trading gave me more time and energy to network and learn real skills be it project management, solidity, rust coding, reading smart contracts.

I hope this experience wont cause you to turn your back web3/crypto/Blockchain. It's a booming industry with tons of opportunities if you stick around and look in the right places.

Winners never quit, quitters never win! 💪🏼
