*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.   24 April 2011: You tell your history teacher because he is the father and he has a right to know. Then you tell your boyfriend whose baby it is. The poor man should not be fooled into raising a baby he thinks is his own because one day he will find out. I hop... (read in full...)

A.   21 April 2011: Sex doesn't re-ignite suddenly re-ignite love unless that 'love' was lacking in much needed depth. What exactly does he mean by "the way you are"? What sort of change does he desire? To be honest, I doubt this relationship will be okay. After si... (read in full...)
