Salutation
Who I am is of no great consequence. I am a traveler of the Way. Having only seen a glimpse of the great and terrible storm that lingers around us, I can help anyone who wishes my help; all one need to do is ask. Every so often, the winds will change this message giving a new insight on the misfortune that lingers in days to come in our departure from the harbor we commence our voyage.
Some will not understand wisdom that hides in these words, for them I must say in time it all become clear. To understand these words one must have patients, experience, an open mind, and a willingness to learn. If you have these traits (in one form or another), and desire these words of wisdom, then ask away.
Love my friends, is a cherished treasure. Those who find in it purest form, will desirer nothing else. Those who do not will have an emptiness that the world can never fill.
*************************************************
We all will love something in our time, it is inevitable. However whether we chose to act upon that love is another, we can let it go by as it passes in the river of life, or we can pluck it out when it comes into reach.
Furthermore what we love is also is up to us. Whether we chose to love our mates/partners or what they can do for us, money, power, fame, or whatever else we worship is entirely up to us.
Since the dawn of time, weâ??ve all sought to understand it, we can never fully grasp the power of it, but here are some people who have tried help us better comprehend the Supremacy of our Heart.
"You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams." Dr. Seuss
"Love me when I least deserve it, because that's when I really need it." Swedish Proverb
"Most people have a harder time letting themselves love than finding someone to love them." Bill Russell
"Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul." Saint Augustine
"Love comes when manipulation stops; when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable."
Dr. Joyce Brothers

I'm 16 and I have recently gotten mixed up in the dating scene again. I've been staying single for a few months to try and sort out my priorities so that the next time I decide to start dating again I will end up with a guy that will treat me right. Well that day has come but its certainly not as easy as I thought it would be thats for sure! One guy I've known since I was a little kid, my mom knows his parents and she likes the idea of me dating him. Plus we've liked eachother for over two years and have both are single now. We've talked on the phone alot and hung out almost every other day. We've kissed and we have so much in common and he is really sweet. But some things about him I'm unsure of. I don't trust him that easily because some things he says seem like lines and he hasn't ever brought up the subject of us dating or anything so I'm not sure if he just wants to mess around, cuz I'm not up for that. The other guy I've met a few days ago. He just recently moved here and the minute our eyes met we clicked. We have alot of things in common, his parents already met me and love me, my mom knows about him and is willing to give him a chance, and we've already talked of dating and he's all up for it and so now it is my desicion. And there lies the problem. I like both guys and I have major chemistry with both. My mom wouldn't mind me dating either and now I'm stuck in a tricky situation. The first guy is from my school and I really want to give him a chance cuz I like him and if I turn him down and date the other guy he might feel played. And visa versa. Please help me. My heart is torn between these two guys and I have no idea which way to go!

Dear Hopelessly Torn Apart:
Are you familiar with the story of “The Phantom of the Opera”? Well if you haven’t the main charter, Christen has a similar the dilemma you are having. Christen must choose, Go with the one she has known for while and cared for a long time [Ralph], or the one who came into her life when she needed him [the Phantom]. In the story, her two lovers’ true characters come out. She then chooses the one she felt most comfortable with. Why did I tell you this? Because I’ll give you what she did to make her final dissension.
–First; she waited, during the time she was torn, she gave much though who was the one she really loved. –Second; she observed them, she saw what they BOTH did, during that time. –Third; she stilled cared for both of them, but in different ways (on as a lover, & one as a dear friend).
You may use any of theses as you wish to find your answer. Keep in mind though some variables will be involve. Those variables may effect the outcome. You must be the judge in deciding your decision. You must consider the personality of each of them. (Keep in mind one of them may be hurt no matter what you choose.)
I hope this helps, so I leave you with this; True love comes with Time.
Please let me know if I helped in someway. And also if you further question drop a line.
Best of Luck
