Hope to the hopeless!!!

About 2 months ago I came across something that would change my life forever more. I lost my job and my shoulder was blown out it was destroyed completely.

Here I was stuck in a halfway house. Where I had to work to make a living to pay for my bills otherwise there was a high chance that I would be sent back to prison.

So I took this job working as a tire tech a mechanic and just did whatever I had to do whenever I had to. But on July 2nd I was unloading a semi truck and the person who loaded the trailer had decided to put 38 inch mudder tires. 4x4 trail tires at the top of the stack. In other words these 80 lb tires were like six to eight feet off the ground. When I pulled it off of this stack gravity took effect and almost yanked my short frame off of this, the lace.

The results the injury that I received was what was highlighted in that x-ray. Ultimately this forced me to reassess my situation and try to find another way to fulfill my obligations.

I was lost I was at wit's end trying to figure out how I was going to survive. So I started doing research on ways to make money using the internet. I didn't have a computer I still don't all I had was my cell phone and my general knowledge of the internet and what is possible through the internet.

So it didn't start with video games firstly I started looking for any way to make money using the internet. At first it was surveys and then I turned to these applications that I was finding through the ads on other video games with promises rewards only to be thoroughly let down.

I spent weeks doing this until I finally came across play to earn a mobile app that was focused on crypto-based games or nft gaming. I would have to say I was dumbfounded by this, and at least that point in time. I had been taken advantage of by a couple of hackers I had pretty much zero money and then I found the splinter lands. I realize that if I was to invest a little bit of money into this game that there was a good chance that I could get money back out of the game.

So I took my last paycheck and bought my first deck of splinter lands cards. What followed was about a month later I had been paid almost $350 from monster market I don't know why they paid me that but I got that. Today as I write this message without my rentals my cards are worth around $7,000. This is more money than I've ever held in my hands at one point in time. I have like 200 and some odd stocks of SPS or crypto coins or however you want to put it.

I am doing better at this and I have ever done at any job. Usually I'm struggling from paycheck to paycheck to make friends meet I've been able to catch up my rent stay on top of it I don't really run out of money unless I it's like the last day or so before I get paid again so this afternoon I saw a post from aggroed shared on Twitter.

This post just solidified everything that I believed the splinterlands could do for me and anybody else who is willing to take a risk to have faith in something other than themselves and to cash in on a childhood that had pretty much come wasted on video games. ha! People can't believe that I'm making this kind of money through a video game but those of you who play the game know...

This is less and less of a dream and more and my more becoming a reality. Splinterlands has changed my life. And I have faith that it can change yours as well ...

This photo is a weak post surgery. I have gotten my shoulder surgically rebuilt and things to the splinter lines somewhat financially stable. Splinterlands has a lifelong believer and player in me. I have created my own YouTube channel it is called frostovision and on it I have been documenting my journey from new, to master.

Right now I'm somewhere in between. But I have my sight set and I have my dreams and I have my aspirations. And one day I too will use the splinterlands to buy my mother a new vehicle, to buy myself a house, to support me as I go through college and become the man that all of my family always thought I would be.

Loving my life.

Hey @frost77! I hope your shoulder heals faster and you can get back on track with achieving your goals. Life may be challenging but I pretty sure everything always turns out to be ok for our growth. I do hope you earn more from playing splinterlands.

I may not have mentioned it? But I think I said something about it being from Twitter. I should have said that the guy using the picture had the rights. Sorry you are right...I was just inspired by the story...I'll make sure not to do it again.

But thank you very much! My apologies
