I can barely write this because my hands are literally SHAKING.

About two years ago, I had the most intense dream in which I won the first prize of a popular lottery game in my country. I could feel all the excitement, anxiety, happiness, and pure ecstasy of winning so deeply in that dream that I'm literally getting chills right now just thinking about it.

As soon as I woke up, I turned to my GF and told her that what I'd just experienced felt more like a premonition than a dream.

I had NEVER played any lottery games before, or even really thought about them, but I felt so deeply within me that I had to play. So I installed the app, picked some numbers and then, to no one's surprise (except mine), I didn't win.

I was devastated. I genuinely felt like I was GUARANTEED to win, so losing hit me like a truck. That's when I started looking online for people who had experienced something similar.

I was never a huge manifestation believer ... well, at least not exactly. I've always had this mentality of "I get everything I want," and I guess I had accidentally manifested pretty much everything in my life up until that point: my GF, my friends, college opportunities, and so many other amazing things I've been lucky enough to have.

But winning that prize? That's a completely different ball game.

I started thinking about it nonstop, 24/7 and BEGGING the universe to give it to me and every time I played and lost, I felt just a little bit of that hope dying inside me. Eventually, I reached a point where I kind of gave up.

I'd always told myself that I would win it before I finished college. When that didn't happen, I lost pretty much all hope.

But what I didn't really think about at the time was that my degree has an extra year, the 6th year is basically an internship year in veterinary school. And I guess my manifestation worked when I least expected it to.

IT HAPPENED.

About two weeks ago.

And I still can't actually believe it.

It's a monthly prize, and I haven't even received my first payment yet, but I've already talked to my mom and dad about everything, got a lawyer through them, and I've decided to distribute around 40% of my winnings as a monthly "salary" to my mom, dad, sister, and grandma.

And right now, I'm looking for my dream rental in the building I've always dreamed of living in.

I feel so incredibly fulfilled. And I just wanted to share this because I want people to BELIEVE.

Don't give up just because it doesn't happen instantly.

Sometimes you might lose hope. Sometimes you might even convince yourself that it's never going to happen.

And then, when you least expect it...

it does.

Keep believing. You're gonna get there eventually.

I’m on vacation in porto santo, a small island in Portugal with little to no light pollution and clear skies. As me and my gf were watching the beautiful stars I saw something in the sky that I genuinely can’t explain.

I noticed a single point of light moving quickly and smoothly across the sky on a perfectly steady trajectory. No obvious blinking, no visible shape, it looked exactly like a satellite.
In fact, while watching it, my immediate reaction was to say do my girlfriend “That’s a satellite.”
I kept my eyes on the same light continuously as it moved until it was basically directly above me.
Then it stopped.
It didn’t disappear or fade. I didn’t lose it and mistake a nearby star for it. I watched the same object move and then become completely stationary, looking just like another star in the sky.
That’s what makes this so strange.
A satellite can’t cross the sky and suddenly stop. An aircraft doesn’t seem to fit what I observed either, and although drones can hover, this appeared extremely high up and looked nothing like a normal drone.
I’m not saying “ALIENS!” There could absolutely be an explanation I don’t know about.

So what the hell did I just see?
