*erberus_Raphael's profile:

I see love everywhere and I see it as a chance for peace. With love, there is a happiness because real, strong love, is a truly benevolent emotion. The archangel Raphael is god's healing. Through God, do I find inspiration to at least try my best to guide others to the peace they seek. I turned to god when I had no where else to go and I found something I could trust in and believe in when I felt cold hearted and angry, the very same way people feel when they trust in the ones they truly love.

If anyone is wondering, the very symbolic nature of Cerberus is important to me. It signifies a time in my life was my liberator and destroyer, I was pushed to the brink of sanity and pulled back, all because of a complicated form of love. But it made me stronger and wiser and now I seek to spare the broken the same physical and emotional pain I felt once before. I was an awful, intolerable, intolerant, heartless and destructive young man before I found a form of peace. As much as I want to help those in need, as much as I like to think that what I say may bring a smile or hope to one's life, I need to remember that what I do here is for my own sense of redemption.

A.   18 August 2010: He's not stupid. You shouldn't feel insecure. He thought she was someone he could confide in. He though she was okay with being just friends and obviously she wasn't. No one is at fault here. Well, maybe the girl is for not moving on but you ... (read in full...)

A.   18 August 2010: I think it'd be okay to meet up with your ex, just don't let anything happen. You're in a relationship, no matter how old it is, you can't just go for another girl whilst you're with the current girlfriend. So meet with your ex but make sure it's ... (read in full...)

A.   18 August 2010: Tell her slowly, give her subtle hints that you feel something and then when the time is right, you tell her that you actually feel something for her. I don't think she'll freak out and never want to see you again, that's a little drastic don't you ... (read in full...)

A.   18 August 2010: You're not a coward for this, just considerate. I don't think you really want to tell her that. There has to be some good points about her, a reason why you've stayed friends for so long. When you know she's lying to you, just tell her to stop, tell ... (read in full...)

A.   18 August 2010: One thing's for sure. If he feels anything for you, he'll be thinking about this conversation you had and he'll be thinking about it deeply. I'd say give it some time, you said he has trust issues and he's a workaholic. You ever stop to consider ... (read in full...)

A.   18 August 2010: You are being selfish. If she's not ready for it, you shouldn't pressure her into it. The fact that you're tempted to cheat on her JUST because of this leads me to believe that you're just in this to get into her pants right now. In my honest ... (read in full...)

A.   17 August 2010: First off, get off the weed alright? That's not helping anything. Go out and just try talking to a couple of strangers, like, at a bar or something. See how easy it is to start a conversation and then go with it when you try and meet women. It's ... (read in full...)

A.   17 August 2010: I'm sorry, I have to disagree with you 'dirtball'. Yes, sometimes we have to live with the decisions we make but, it is also wise to know when you can change things by redeeming yourself. It isn't good to live with bad choices, better to have tried ... (read in full...)

A.   17 August 2010: I know this might seem kind of dim-witted at this point but, have you tried telling him about this? There has to be something he can do to show you how loyal he is to you. I think the other step you need to take is to stop thinking that she's ... (read in full...)

A.   15 August 2010: It seems like an unrequited love. You have all the right in the world to be angry with him. This is what all oxytocin-fueled emotions are like. Every emotion has a dark side (if it didn't start out that way already i.e. anger and hate) It's best if ... (read in full...)
