Carry a photocopy with you from which they can cross check with immigration. Never ever let an employer take away your passport. This happened to my sister, they did it to enforce her to keep working for them (for free!) This was a store called Dreamland, but we prefer to call it slaveland now. They used it as leverage to scare her in compliance and delay her being able to leave the country.

She managed to get it by threatning to involve the police which led to her getting it back thankfully. Be careful out there don't fall for slave labor traps

27F, I didn't study fine art but I did manage to become self taught enough to be accepted into a gallery and sell to collectors. I've worked doing comissions for game studios and individuals for 7 years but I had enough of comission work. I'm currently studying university long distance because university costs an arm and a leg here. I've been applying to jobs as a receptionist, teacher etc so I'm not really keen on a specific job. Perhaps painting walls for murals could be another. here is my resume

I got food poisoning and it's been hitting my intestines pretty hard. Please pray that my guts are healed

Please pray for me to be healed from mental illnesses and feel at peace always

I would appreciate to learn about those two areas please

His assignments are needlessly brutal and they're all peer graded because of course, he would never sit through *4 pages* of work to grade. During graded quiz weeks instead of going easy on us like most instructors do with 300 word assignments he gives us discussion, peer grading and works like nothing different is about the graded quiz

It began with someone in a dark cloak opening a triangular hatch on a football-sized sphere covered in hexagonal facets. Inside each triangular hatch was a portal. It was incredibly clear, I’d probably be better off posting a drawing later because it’s hard to explain properly

Suddenly I was bent and pulled into one of the tiny triangular portals like it was a portable black hole

On the other side was a world almost identical to ours. Regular people, universities and ordinary cities. Basically nothing futuristic at all

But there was one major difference. It was an extremely rare alternate universe, where only positive outcomes could happen. Kinda like there is always an alternate universe where your favorite team never lost a match

To explain this better it's based on the many-worlds idea in quantum mechanics, if every possible outcome exists somewhere, then there could theoretically be a universe where events always resolve in the best possible way for everyone. If a surgery normally has a 50% chance of success here, then there is a world where it succeeds 100% of the time. If you flip a coin, the side you want always happens to land face up. That universe wasn’t intentionally designed to be a perfect world. It's a possible chain of lucky events

I was given the chance to continue my university studies there, which I happily accepted. The other students didn’t seem stressed at all because they knew the odds were always in their favor. The campus was calm, clean, and well-kept unlike my old university

But after a while, I started feeling homesick. I didn't know anyone there and was practically a stranger to the entire universe. I started struggling with a massive existential crisis because I had some life goals around helping people but there was no one to help. Nothing I built myself up to had meaning anymore. In the end I finally decided that I wanted to go home

Outside the campus stood a massive triangular portal. For some reason it was enormous compared to the tiny one inside that teleportation device from earlier

When I tried to walk through it, the portal rejected me. It felt like being suffocated by a sheet of plastic film as I pushed forward. The translucent iridescent surface hardened

Then a gentle voice spoke. I recognized it as the person who had brought me there, though I still couldn’t see his face

He told me I could never leave unless my heart was fully and genuinely happy with leaving

I took a deep breath, thought about all the happy memories I had back home, then tried again. It still wouldn’t let me through

The voice explained that I wasn’t completely at peace with leaving because I still carried lingering fears and doubts. Deep down, I knew that was true, which made it unsettling

That’s where the dream ended

After waking up, I kept thinking about it. Why wasn’t I allowed to leave? How could a portal possibly know what I felt?

Then I realized the portal itself wasn’t reading my emotions

It was the logic of that universe at work. If the universe only allows positive outcomes, then it could never permit me to make a choice that would lead to any amount of pain or regret

I don't want to overthink this dream a lot, I know it's just my imagination but it forced me to reflect on if my wish to help out was ego-based or if I genuinely wanted to see a better world because I was there and it wasn't enough. This had me fucked up for a while

I've been having trouble with sleep due to threats from a stalker. They showed me that they know my new location. Please pray for my protection and peaceful sleep as I report this

It started with someone in a dark cloak opening up a triangular hatched on a hexagonally faceted football sized sphere. It was all portals inside on each triangle hatchet. It was really vivid I think I would be better off posting a drawing of it later because it's hard to explain

I was suddenly bent and pulled into the small triangular portal inside devices like it was a portable black hole

On the otherside was a world exactly like ours with regular people, universities etc. Not futuristic just normal

However there was one glaring difference. It was a very rare alternate universe. Rare in the sense that only the good possibke outcomes can happen

Based on the theory of multiple universes as proposed by quantum mechanics, there is a universe in which every possibility has happened. For example there could be one where your favorite football team has won back to back for ages or lost back to back

In this universe only the positive outcomes happen to everybody for as long as they live. Lets say you're having a surgery that has the odds of 50% at succeeding it's a 100% in this place. If you flip a coin, only the outcome you want comes up. This place isn't intentionally made to be a "good" place. its just one of the mathematically possible chains of events

I found this realy interesting because if I had a device that lets me hop to any parallel universe I would choose this form of heaven in a heartbeat

I was given the opportunity to continue my university studies there which I was more than happy with. All the other students didn't look stressed at all as they knew the odds were good. It was really nice and tidy there unlike my old uni

However, I felt alone after a while. I had these goals to help fix our world and felt rather pointless there. I wanted to go back to our universe. I found a tall triangular shaped portal outside campus. For some reason it was huge on my end unlike the one inside that device

As I tried to walk through it, it rejected me. I felt as if I was being suffocated by a plastic film as I walked forward. It changed from being translucent iridescent lights. Suddenly a voice spoke to me, I recognized it as the one who brought me here but I couldn't see his face

He said that I can't ever leave unless my heart is fully genuinely happy with leaving. I took a deep breath and tried to think of all the happy memories I had then tried again, it still didn't work. The voice said I'm not completely happy with leaving as I still had lingerings fears and doubts. Which I knew is true but that was still rather shocking. That's where the dream ended

After waking up, I reflected on it for a while. It made little sense on why was I not allowed to leave? Why would a portal know what I feel? But then I realized that the portal can't tell what I feel

It's the positive possibilities at play. If this is supposed to be a perfect universe then I can't make a choice that would lead me to any degree of hurt

I can't help but worry about a problem in my life before sleep and it keeps me up a lot. Please pray for my peaceful sleep and a solution
