Right as I'm thinking, "this seems like something mleku would write.." then I notice the URL. Nice.

yes, that's why i recommended you look at it... i wrote it in early 2022 after having a really obvious "love bomb" from a shitcoin founder in the job interview and after 3 months watching him play all the other games, he practically did every single thing in that list of 9 in there
i uprooted myself from where i was, with the money i had managed to save, and fucked the hell out of there and was in Varna with a much better employer two months later
i also realised that my "friends" at the time were all abusing me as well, so i had lots of fresh memories of their behaviour to work from to come up with that list
Sounds to me like God intervened. Looking back, I can see how God intervened (usually painfully) to pull me out of situations I didn't understand at the time.
Psychos are everywhere... One had the power of life and death over me once, with the full backing of the us government and a very broken system of justice. I'll keep it vague, but maaaan am I glad to have gotten away.
yeah, something kept telling me to research cult manipulation, for some reason, the Voice of God i guess... yeah... a little later i actually saw the mind parasite that was in me that made me vulnerable too, on an accidentally too high dose of the best meth i've ever used lol... that was the point at which the idea to write that text started
i totally forgot about that, yeah, i got out of all that other shit and then omg the landlady of the place i ended up renting was a psycho, as well... probably shouldn't be surprised considering two articles of furniture in the house was a chandelier with the mitsubishi logo, which i am pretty sure is a satanic symbol, and a big silver plated dish, moroccan style, on the lounge table, with a big fat hexagram etched into it
after she comes around to inspect, violating what i consider to be my privacy by bringing her husband in, who was not on the lease, and asking me if that was ok at like 20 minutes notice, lol... basically i called up the friend who got me the good meth and asked him to help me out with some transport, basically gave away a heap of nice things i had so i could get the fuck out
shortly after that i managed to land the job in varna and that was that
as though to confirm, i went outside and saw the golden light of the sun on the mountain that separates boa ventura/sao christoval from the next town arco sao jorge
absolutely spectacular, like a sign
it reminded me also
i found out that the portuguese word for the herb fennel is "funcho" and the capital of this island is called Funchal, and in ancient greek culture fennel was said to impart a blessing to warriors
and so i think that the word funchal may be a reference to "the blessed city" of revelation
there is lots going on there but that's just what came to me
also it makes me think about how i have been drawn to join the portuguese fatima catholic church here, and all the lovely people i have come into contact as a result of coming here, and even, this town's name means "good fortune" and the church is named "the church of the mother of good fortune" igreja da matriz da boaventura. maybe matriz means grandmother, actually.
Maybe you found a magical place. I've heard Portugal has such places. Actually, all of Iberia does, and southern France.
When I was beebopping around East Asia (which I want to get back to), I became convinced that the whole region was a sort of "thinner" part of reality, like the material matrix separating us from the real world was thinner and magic could penetrate easier there. Its a feeling and somehow some kind of difference in the quality of light, which could easily go unnoticed, except that you do notice it.
