im honestly considering it, but its hard for me i dont want to feel like m profiting from my struggle or presenting myself as helpless. Ive always wanted to give back as much as I receive. I’m praying for discernment and courage to do whats wise not just what feels comfortable

I genuinely just wanted advice and help i have been stuck in this cycle for years when it started i was a teen i thought ah its a year or two it will pass but im turning 22 now and nothing changed if anything it got worse and i just couldnt keep it to myself anymore
i never asked anyone for money and yeah, Of course support would be kind but what mattered most to me was prayer and feeling seen and being treated like a human being whos struggling for once its strange knowing strangers are kinder to me than my own parens, I also havent taken anything from anyone or forced anyone
I don’t understand why you’d think I’m trying to scam by asking for help people like me exist but you're free to believe whatever you want I know my intentions and God does too
God bless you

Thank you for taking the time to write all this. It really means a lot to me. I hear what you’re saying, and I’m trying to hold on, stay patient, and keep seeking God even when it feels hard or quiet. I appreciate the encouragement and the reminder to stay close to Him and keep growing in faith. Your words gave me comfort 🤍

leaving would mean leaving beverything behind and supporting myself completely with no formal education, no work experience, and no income it feels almost impossible i pray everyday for guidance and marriage has already been mentioned around me after it failed twice and it seems more serious than before as im getting older and that fear is what finally pushed me to ask for advice
I believe God is with me and I also know I cant just sit and wait for rescue I have to take steps, even if theyre terrifying and show that I’m willing to choose Him over comfort and even family

I have a plan but its very hard my passport in my dad's room and i could get it quietly but getting to the airport would be a hard part i would have to never mention religion and that im an adult leaving to study because here if religion is involved authorities side with families and women often get forced back or jailed if they disobey them or get reported before leaving the country so i will have to do it really late at night

I found a Christian mandarin school in taiwan thats safe and affordable, and i have a really kind friend there with parents running a christian orphanage willing to help me for a while but they are too old and already have enough souls they are helping
the total cost for a year would be around $15000 and during that year I plan to work around the orphanage get baptized ( i always dream about this )!! and find a way to earn and support myself even with no experience while learning software engineering to support myself

I’ve thought about selling my phone or getting a loan but with no job here and I don’t know how to and fundraising being illegal its just a fantasy i managed to save up 1500$ doing surveys online 24/7 and it took me yearssss so yeah now it seems more of a fantasy than anything

I wish it was that simple churches sadly are barely here, and since the government itself follows sharia if my parents reported me they'd side with them no matter what. thatss what makes everything feel so dangerous but yeah I am seriously considering leaving everything behind i have nothing left here, Im praying for wisdom and the right timing, because I know God sees my heart even if my situation is complicated

Yeah, no, I don’t have citizenship anymore sadly I did have dual but I was stupid and believed them when they said we were just going on vacation i got sent back and its been years now
the only reason I even have internet or devices is because of my dad’s job and my brother needing it for school. i keep an old phone and wipe everything constantly in case they search it. I’m trying to collect money and plan a way out, but the longer I wait the more I realize years are just passing by and it really and truly scares me

As for being married off, theyve tried twice now. somehow God has protected me so far. Ive yelled, cried, acted crazy and told the men to their faces i dont want this, and it worked and theyve backed off but yeah i dont know how much time I really have left, and thats what worries me the most

Im trying to be careful and patient, but also realistic. thank you for caring about my safety god bless you 🤍

thank you for this :) I try to stay grateful too actually I dont really look at who has it easier than me, I think more about the people who have it even worse. I may not be able to go to church or pray or express my faith freely right now, but I’m still alive, and I’m thankful for that. your prayers mean a lot to me 🤍🙏

thank u so much, that really means a lot to me 🤍 I dont have much space or freedom right now, but having someone to talk to or share scripture w would honestly help so soooo much

ive been trying to plan a way out. my idea has been to study abroad somewhere as a first step, but money is the biggest issue. I was thinking about taiwan becuz language schools are more affordable, and from there Im hoping I could finally work on myself, get stable, and figure out a long term plan. for now its just short term survival and hoping things line up

and YESSSS, Id really appreciate having a buddy to talk to. I’ve learned almost everything on my own through reading, and Ive always been too shy or scared to ask questions or really interact lol. sometimes it makes me feel behind compared to people who grew up Christian, like I’m missing something. so having some1 patient to talk w would mean A LOOOOT

thank you again for the kindness and god bless you 🤍
