...to start off with?

I love God, and I want a deeper relationship with Him by learning.

What parts of Christianity should I learn first? Plus how else can I deepen my relationship with Him? (link)
i agree with yourstochoose, and prayer is the key too. have you prayed this prayer stating you believe that God sent his only son to die on the cross who rose three days later for our sins and that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life? if so good. if not can. know he'll never fail you and help you in many ways and works in od ways sometimes. what mean is won't lead you down a bad path without a reason or lesson and will help you through it. hope this helps


thankyou for reading this and
idk from where i should start...
i'm just gonna tell you everything that has happened with me over the last couple of years..
i lost my dad when i was 12
he was a very good person he took such good care of us...he died of cancer even though he never smoke or did drinking or any such sort of bad habits
and i lost "ME" the day i lost my dad and i am realizing it now as i start to think...
and after that we had to move to my grandfather's place as we had no one to take care of us
we had money though not like huge but it was enough my dad had worked very hard for every penny
and my grandfather helped my mom to build an apartment with the money we had and he also helped her a lot by lending money to my mother
and just 2 years ago our apartment got finished and also my Grandfather passed away in 2015
i can't take all of this really it is hurts me a lot alll these stuff i loved my Grandfather so much he was a very good person
and all my mother also cries everynight just thinking about what happened to my dad and grandfather
and my after i lost my grandpa i almost lost every family member as they started to show their true nature
the whole family and everyone was ...i don't even feel like talking about them
they were acting as if they are very nice and sweet when my grandpa was there and now that he's gone everyone is just yeah showing what they truly are....
i really don't know how to tell all the little stuff that cause the most pain....
that they all do.
i let all these things into my head and yeah i lost it ...
i didn't write my exam last year and i wasted an year and now i am at home everyday
sad ..and feeling lonely
but i took the re-exam december and i know i am not gonna pass because i don't like studying
i feel all these stuff is made by us
Go to school...
Study hard...
get good marks...
get a job at a place that gives you boat load of money...
marry a girl...
have kids....
i mean i am just tired of all these stuff
i don't know what to do with my life
and yeah i am also in love with a 21 year old girl(long distance)
met her online she is really very sweet
i have never met anyone like her till now
and i really just love her a lot
but ....
i told my mom about this thinking that she would help me to get together with this girl
( yah i'm an idiot i know )
but my mom denied(obiviously)
recently things haven't been good
it never has been good in my case
the girl i love also hasn't texted me back in couple of weeks and i am just Holding on
just Holding On...
i really don't know when i am gonna loose the Grip...
i really feel like dying
but..
yeah i also don't wanna Give up
people are usually like think about your mother and all the pain she's been through...
i really feel her pain
but..
they wouldn't say the same thing if they saw the world they way i see it
and wouldn't say these things if i saw the world the way they see it !

i don't like me at all...
i just don't wanna live
but..
Hope is all i Got !
(link)
i'm sorry loss my grandpa to cancer, best take those memories, let tears out and live on for him, and know he is out of pain..know studying is not fun make a game out of it and try your best to pass..youll find right one someday on girls, and kids take sweet time for they ae big responsibility and reevaluate yourself of what in life, and do whats possible now and reach higher for others. and even go to God to find yourself and get comfort from Jesus Christ too, as it is said God so loved the world he gave his only son, that whomever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life..pray this with your heart i promise you'll see changes in you and going to them will give you results of a better fulfilled life..


Hello,

I have been in a relationship for 4 years and things aren't going so good and they haven't for quite sometime now. After repeating myself for the past 2 years that things need to change or I'm leaving I started giving him a bit of a cold shoulder. One night I went out with a couple of my girl friends that he knew and he knew where I was and he got really upset and after telling me that he hopes all of them "backstab" me he texted "do you bro" I took that as things are over. Couple weeks after I saw someone has been always in my life and 5 years ago we almost dated but we were still young and made a couple mistakes. well the feelings were still very present for the both of us and we kinda started talking everyday and we would see eachother after work and we would go out. And it was like we were still the best friends we always were but the chemistry was also there. I never allowed myself to really see him like that before because I had "the boyfriend" and thought it was wrong of me but now things were different. I love having this guy around. I can be myself and he wont judge me, I feel really protected around him, we can discuss anything, We are very honest with eachother I feel like a legit princess. We had the same class in highschool and the other day I was telling him how I love the way he looks at me and he told me that the way he looks at me hasn't changed since highschool. So things with him couldn't be more perfect.

Now! My boyfriend after not talking to me for almost a month and again to me that means we are pretty done, Realized what he has lost and has changed completely who he was. Hes very lovey dovey and makes sure to say all the right things, but he doesn't realize that now its too late. I do feel really bad that ive lost feelings for him over the years because of past petty arguments (everyday) and double standards and I would love to have things go back to how they once were but I cant.

My question now is. Do I put my time and effort into someone kinda new (relationship wise) or do I invest my time trying to fix something of almost 4 years.

I am 23 years old btw!

Thank you in advance. (link)
on past, may want give it go, let back in life even as friends know i'd do anything get a dude back in my life. but anyway on current, may want end it, for it should been okay for you go with his friends. talk him about these feelings and make a decision.


Ive had this friend for over a year and I consider her one of my best friends. She brings out the best person in me and I love that about her. She sleeps at my house every weekend and we talk and snapchat all the time. We have never been annoyed with each other and never got into a fight or anything. We have different taste in men which even makes our friendship even better. I suffer from depression and anxiety and she knows this but she didn't know me when I was in my manic stage. Basically. I was talking to this guy for about a month, texting, snapchatting, facetiming and I was really into him and he seemed into me. We hung out one day and we basically did everything besides have sex. After we hung out he said it was okay and my best friend came over his house and the three of us were hanging out. He basically fell in love with her. It really upset my feelings. He asked me for her number when we both left his house and I gave it to him kinda testing him. The past 2 weeks he has been flat out ignoring me and hitting up my best friend. She told me not to worry shes not interested in him and hes an asshole whatever. One night she sent me a snapchat of her at a bar and I said who are you with? And she answered with one of our girlfriends so I was like oh ok. I fell asleep and woke up an hour later from snapchats from HER and the GUY I liked together. Like that litterarly hurt me so much. She knows how I feel about him. She lied to me and went to hang out with him. I flipped out on her telling her my feelings are extremely hurt and I felt like my boyfriend cheated on me. I still am upset. She feels bad but like I went in my drepression of self harming, negative thoughts, cried all day and night, barely slept, didn't eat, and had little energy and felt so fatigue. I am feeling better now but im still extremely hurt. I don't know what to do. If she thinks this is the love of her life do I tell her to keep talking to him even though it hurts me so much like whats wrong with me for no one to like me? I am just really hurt. (link)
know how feel, but forgive her for your sanity, and talk to her about it. and if thatt doesnt work may want stop being friends, since she knew what she was doing.


I don't know why, but everywhere I go, Oompa Loompas follow me. They laugh and call me George. I've been thinking of flying away on my spaceship i.e. banana peel and going to live on the planet of cheese-in-a-can, but I'm not sure if they have cable there. Do you have any idea if the planet has cable, or if there is any way to avoid the Oompa Loompas? Please help, they already took my sanity! 'Twas all pink and sparkly! (link)
well, if keep seeing things, best go to a doctor or psychartrist idk how spell it but to get medicine. scitzfrenia still cannot spell it but anyway is a serious disease that makes you see things that arent there. hope you get better and these oompa loompa stop following you


Hi - Thanks for the advice. I took the bull by the horns today. My question is updated to show what happened. (link)
it wouldnt let me see it, but since it backfired, i am sorry, least know now if doesnt return feelings and if he thinks someone else did it, tell him bravely it was you. hope this helps since dont know the update.


January 30th at 4:18 pm my beautiful baby boy turned a year old, I was not there to see it because last year I made the hardest decision in my whole entire life and that was to put my sons happiness before my own and each and every day it breaks my heart which I never talk about or no one seems to care enough to ask...... Not a lot of people know what I've been through because I choose not to tell anyone for the simple fact of being judged since I was 24 and giving my child a better life then I could provide, Theo(my son) lives in the same state with his adoptive dads and they never fail to keep me updated but it just doesnt feel the same, not getting to be there..... Theo is extremely HAPPY and to me that is all that matters, When I found out I was pregnant I was going through the worse time in my life and raising a child in that situation would of been selfish..... its hard to explain to strangers seeing how they look at people who give there baby up as someone who doesnt want the responsibility and whom is to immature and trust me I get it, I use to think the same thing before it happened to ME, I wanted/want my son more then ANYTHING in this whole entire world and If I would of known this would of happened a year before I would of got my sh** together no questions asked, My sons father and I have been together for 8 years now but at the time he was unable to find work without a work visa since hes from Canada which he has now, I have ALL the love in the world for my son but sometimes love isnt enough, I couldnt give him what they can and absolutely do!!!!!! Then why do I feel like my hearts been ripped out my chest, Ive wanted to be a mom my WHOLE life thats my purpose on this Earth and I gave that up deep down I know it was the right thing but some days I dont feel that way, The moment I held him I finally understood what unconditional love was I spent every second with him for 3 days and those were the best days of my life and the moment I had to leave that hospital without that precious baby boy now that was the beginning to the hardest day of my life and I dont know how to get passed it I work so much to keep my mind occupied and so that next time when Im ready to get pregnant I will never have to experience that kinda of pain again but theres a little voice in the back of my head saying " yeah but it wont be theo my perfect baby" if only he could of waited ONE YEAR if only because Today MY boyfriend( sons father) and I have our very first apartment, we have our own car and my boyfriend is now able to work..... One year later, yet I still feel so empty because I know with every part of me that it all means nothing without my biological son with ME and I know I cant undo the past I just hope in the future he could forgive me and understand what we do for our kids.... I never once did this for me and I want a future relationship with him NO MATTER WHAT..... I just wish right now it didnt hurt so bad (link)
i'm sorry know you made right choice for your son.know it'll be okay even write him letters knowing you love him and stuff if its okay with adoptive parent/parents and if not, write them and keep them in a box or something. the pain is normal. let time heal which will and pray unto the mighty lord for healing and comfort. so proud of you for this and know your strong enough to endure


I'm a Sophomore in college and I feel like it's taking me way too long to graduate. I was told I can graduate in 3 years, but every semester it seems like it's taking longer and longer. I'm now looking at 4-5 years and I'm only in my second year and feeling burnt out. It's not because I'm failing classes or anything, it's all the extra courses I have to take that have nothing to do with my degree. Now I'm being told that I'm going to need my Masters on top of my bachelors to get anywhere (Healthcare Management).

I really want to travel to other countries teaching English, but I don't know how realistic that is.

I'm also tired of dating, none of the boys in my age range take life seriously and other than one relationship that lasted 3 years, the rest of my relationships have ended in 6 months or less. Sometimes I wish there was a mail order bride type service for American women because I think life would just be much easier if I could find an older gentleman to marry me who's financially well off. I really wouldn't mind being a housewife, I love to cook and take care of a home and have lots of hobbies I could keep myself busy with.

I also don't have any friends at college so I spend all my time alone. I joined a sorority, but everybody was already in cliques so I'm going to drop at the end of the semester and join some clubs next semester to see if that helps.

I just feel super lost though. I have summer vacation coming up in 4 weeks so I have some time to figure it out, but I don't even know where to start. I'm thinking about getting my TEFL over the summer (to teach English), but I really just want to know what I'm doing with my life...

well on guys understand heartache well. the right one will come and treat you like a queen. and on friends im sorry know can try talking someone new by just saying hi and talk small talk. your plan is a good one, and is possible with right attitude, like have, and perserverence and all things are possible with God. go unto him for comfort, help, guidance, and so much more he sent his only son to die on the cross for our sins who rose again three days later. who ever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. know Jesus Christ can be the bestest friend ever and God as well especially when feel alone.i go to him for everything and have had struggles, yes, but have grown and found what want in life by them.


I am a 25 yr-old female and have been with my partner for over 8 years now. My family knows that we are together and are very accepting of us, which I am very grateful for. However, she has still not told her parents that we are together, despite how long it has been. We both pretty much know that her parents know, but it has never really been confirmed with them. I just want my girlfriend to outwardly tell them we are in a relationship. I know this sounds really selfish because coming out is such a difficult thing to do, especially to your parents, but I just want to know if her parents would truly accept me and treat me the same knowing I was in a relationship with their daughter. I don't know if that really makes sense. But do you think it is wrong for me to ask my girlfriend to basically come out to her parents? I feel terrible, but at the same time I am tired of hearing her say she will tell her parents, and she never does. This has been going on for years, and I have tried to be very patient since I know coming out is hard, but it's also hard for me to stay in the closet in front of her family. I'm not really sure what to do. (link)
well, i suggest keep talking about this issue. learned hardway that being a secret is a bad thing, can cause future hurt and so on. i wouldnt breakup with her unless he refuses to ever come out. it may be hard for her cause she may have strict parents, reassure her itll be okay that you got her back and offer to tell her parents with her. 8 years is long time


I'm 23 yrs old male. I am from Indonesia. Something just triggered me to ask this now. When I was a child (8 or 10 maybe), my father tend to touch my genital and i get hard (not in a fondling manner but only a poke). He sometimes kisses my ears so i get an erection too. BUT it is not in a creepy, forced, sexual way. It's more of a playful thing. He sometimes wrestle me or tickles me then does that and we just laugh

Thing is, I kinda liked the sexual stimulation i got back then. I would sometimes intentionally stay beside him to 'play'. And i think it affected me now. I just want to confirm if it really was sexual abuse or im just overthinking (I dont know if its really abuse because i also see some people touch the genitals of other young boys to tease them in public here) (link)
well, sounds like it could of been a mild sexual abuse. talk to your mother about it if can or sibling and then tell your dad how it made you feel and forgive him , as none are perfect, as another has said its not normal for a parent to toch genitals less its diaper changing and the ear thing is also not a good thing as its a flirtatious act. hope you get better ill pray for you!


I'm stuck in a terrible situation and I guess I'd just like some perspective...

I am in love with a coworker. We work great together and we have an amazing time when he's actually present. And he's an amazing, funny, kind, person. The problem is that he's in love with this other girl....

And she doesnt like him like that, but hes convinced he can get her.

By the way he knows I like him, he says that he likes me too but that since we work together we shouldnt mix business with pleasure etc which to me is a complete excuse. I know its because he might think im awesome but he doesnt like me like that. I understand that. He is in love with this other girl. Its a viicous cycle.

Anyway, my problem here and my question is, whenever this girl writes him, which she does quite often, he dissapears into his phone. And i know when she does bcause he starts texting all oblivious of anything going on in the office and smiling like an idiot. And ignoring me. Were partners we work on projects together so were together most of the day.

My problem is not that he texts her its that whenever he does he ignores anything and everything i say, and i hate seeing it it bothers me.

how can istop feeling this? (link)
well i know it is hard, but may want move on slowly. take steps to, like put away reminders know he is missing out and you can distance yourself from him and tell him why. don't want depress emfi does care about you, but give yourself time to heal from heartache. and on him liking another girl is a big red flag. he is not gonna change any time soon, so best for you try find someone else to give your heart to which is hard i know.


Hello, my name is Tamara I'm 27 years old and had NEVER had relationships let alone sexual ones, not even Hans holding or kissing either, LOL, aww Lord that sounds sad xD Anywho I was wondering is it ok being a virgin for sooo long? I'm really uncomfortable with the subject, that I get genuinely have no interest in it. I hope it isn't bad. The jist of this is, is it unhealthy? (link)
yes its great be a virgin wished i woulld of waited. but anyhow nothing wrong with it, when your redy to you will =)


Im 15 and I want to get pregnant but..im scared...about how my parents would react if I got pregnant so early...I really wanna have a baby..I just think there so cute...id love to have one of my own...tho..:( (link)
well i nthe future when 18+ may be ideal, but for now wait wait wait. why? a guy may seemed to love you but you may just be a booty call. hope not but most 15 year olds dont want kids or tie down the knot. maybe you could babysit babies and wait have your own, it would not be easy to, as would have dropout of school, lose all freedom, and pricey and can cause alot stress hurt etc.


17/f
Im a virgin. A few days ago the inside of my vagina started itching and was really sore. Today i noticed some blood when i pee (period blood) usually what i get just before i start my period. Ive already had mt period this month and im regular because im on the pill and ive never had it twice in one month or skipped a month. Someone please help? What could this be? (link)
think need go to the doctor, know may be a infection or something like that. or could be your birth control eitherway go to the doctor.


I broke up with my boyfriend of two years this past beginning of summer though we were together my sophomore, junior, and senior year with a small breakup in between. When we broke up I handled it very maturely and nicely - more than I should have been but I wanted to leave it on good terms because I genuinely care about him as a person and I told him that and explained everything for why I felt as I did. The main reason I did this was because I didn't want to leave something out in this way or handle it with anger that would make me want to reach out and get "closure." I've already realized that's pointless and stupid. So we talked it through and he was hysterical and so upset but I still went through with it because I know he's not right for me and he didn't treat me right and I deserve better. We havent seen each other since amazingly even though we live in the same town very close and go to school together. I reached out to him once for his bday which was four and half months later just to say happy birthday and hope youre doing well. Since then I hadn't talked to him and I could tell from his response that he missed me and still cared. That was the first and only time I've ever reached out to him because I went cold turkey which I don't regret. I heard from him two months later for Christmas which I was very surprised about and then the following month for my birthday which I woke up to a text from him. He repeatedly said hope your doing well, i'll always be here if you need me, hopefully i'll speak to you again, i'll see you when I see you, and if you ever need to talk and I know him too well that this is his way of saying I miss you and I want you back but is too scared to say it because I dumped him. Not that any of this matters because I do NOT want to get back with him at all i've moved and am happy. But I wonder is it so weird to ask to meet up for coffee and just chat? I mean he was a big part of my life for so long and my best friend. Not about the past or anything I dont need any answers about anything Ive come to terms with it all but I still genuinely care about him as a person. I dont want to be friends cause I know that would give him the wrong impression. Is it unrealistic to catch up with an ex? I've been having this thought of catching up just for the hell of it for like ever. Should I just forget about it? I know he would say yes but im not sure if it would do more harm than good... I dont love him anymore but I still care and I know he does too maybe more than me. Is it dumb to ask to meet up for coffee after so long or no? (link)
you should give him a chance, to be friends and meet up for coffee or something. and make it clear in a very nice way that you dont have those feelings, but do care about him as a person to him and not through a relative i say that cause a guy did this to me, but we end up being friends again and i move on to a better relationship and need that closure myself.


I have been with my husband for 19 years. I'm 35. We have two kids (5&9). He is a great guy, wonderful father and tries his best to treat me well. The truth is, I have lost all the fire with him for the past 5 years. I don't think we would be together if it wasn't for our kids. We have grown apart. I do not want to be intimate with him at all. He doesn't feel the same way. We are two different people. Here us a twist: a guy who I have always called "the one who got away" has randomly appeared in my life! I'm ignoring the fact that his makes me FEEL SOMETHING again to try to address what to do with my marriage. Um losing sleep, I'm completely ridden with anxiety all the time about what divorce would mean for my kids. (link)
honestly dont ruin a good thing cause a guy who care about is back.he and you did not get together for reason but friendship with the guy may be a option. try counseling with significant other and self. know you married your husband for a reason, just try remember why. if was cause got pregnant, then i'd say leave after talking and divorcing your hubby. but if it was love i say try salvage it the best can and remind yourself the quirks you dont like about this guy. i have to do with my bf, and it works.


I am a virgin ,me and my boyfriend were fooling around naked and he ejaculated on my clits and vagina ,exactly 8days after my periods .l last had my period 27jan and now its 21march and experiencing stomach problems,apetite problems ,feeling sleepy ,can i be pregnant (link)
a guy named josiah cox took my virginity, and it was same thing your going through but wasnt naked. i got pregnant and had a miscarriage and foundout at the next doctor visit that was before the miscarriage but it was too late. best tell him after go to the doctor or take few pregnancy tests to confirm your doubts or easy them


so i was in a long distance relation but we broke up after 3 months and i tried to fix the problem but she just wouldn't even try and think about it and i tried texting her and she was reading those texts but not replying to any of them and she'd just say "idk what to say"
and after a while she said that i "spam" her with texts but all i sent was 3 texts telling how i feel about her and she called it "spam" and it hurt me a lot and so i blocked her on social media and also in the multiplayer game that we met ! . it's really hard for me to give up on her and i just love her a lot and at this point i'm just hurt a lot and thinking about her MOST of the time and idk what to do....

i'm thinking of reconnecting with her (i know i'm dumb but i just love her a lot) and i don't know whether this is the right thing to do....

i'm thinking of texting her in the game we met

so yea as i said before i'm just confused and don't know what to do that's why i'm asking for your help

Thank you for taking your time in reading this
(link)
been there with a guy named josiah cox. i loved him and havent been able loved anyone else in the same way. best tell her one last time, that also want that relationship with her and if she shoots you down, try try move on and love again or like someone again, which is what i am doing though would go back to him if my bf n i broke up. hope this helps and comforts you. but sounds like you deserve better.


I'll try to make this short. Ive been dating this guy for 4 months now and things have been great. We get along well, shares similar interests, and don't have too many disagreements. He's met my parents and I've met his (i feel as if we could have waited on this but he was so persistent about it) and I often spend time around him and his friends vice versa. The problem is that although we do everything any normal 20 something couple would do, he still will not consider us to be boyfriend and girlfriend. He said that he wants a relationship with me but wanted to wait it out. At first I was okay with this, but I increasingly grew to be more annoyed because it didn't really make sense to me. Especially given all of the things I have done for him that most girls wouldn't do unless the relationship had some seriousness to it. Either way I continued to put my own feelings to the back burner and just accepted that he'll come around. However I recently I found out that he had been on the dating app Tinder just casually checking out girls. I established that he hadn't actually met up with anyone nor took a number, but I was hurt because we both agreed to only seeing each other. With this I told him I was done and that I couldn't handle this situationship anymore and that these actions showed the real reason as to why he didn't want to be exclusive. After some time he came to me saying he didn't want to lose me and that if I gave him until May ( 1.5 months from now) that he'd be ready for us to take it to the next level. I agreed with this because I love him (he tells me he loves me daily) and don't want to lose him, but I struggle with whether or not I should continue to wait. Very confused. (link)
well, when i was 16, i had a four year sitautionship. once we had kissed had sex he left me. his name was Josiah cox, and was a good guy. still heartbroken cause i waited for him and even asked him out. he did not want a relationship yet, and yet had all the signs of loving me back. best to do what your heart says and know its risky, to wait on a guy and suppose be the other way around. i let someone new end who treats me better, but am insecure cause of Josiah. in my opinion best to move on before you get seriously hurt like i did.


Ok so i own a Siberian Husky pup he is almost 1 year old he is a great dog love him till death. He listens when inside the house great but i feel like its only because he feels like he is trapped. As soon as i let him outside he no longer listens and if he does something bad and i have to punish him i put him in a cage in the house then it takes me a week just to get his trust back he will not come when called will not drop a item when told to do so. And Like i said this is only once we leave the house when we are out doors or in the backyard of the house. He is fast a short 50 pound little ball of fire always on the move he has a huge backyard to play in and i try to get him to the dog park at least twice a week depending on the weather. I train with him everyday but he does not seem to get it he is very hesitant when i call him to me in the backyard and does not even acknowledge my presence at the dog park. He will be bad picking on a puppy at the dog park then we get home and he jumps up on the coach with me like were best friends and i am not mad at him. He knows i am the Alpha again great in the house wont touch food dropped on the floor until told to do so sits when told to even knows when i get him in the house and he was bad he knows to go into his crate. I tried looking everywhere online and everyone says the same thing just practice in your backyard bring him out on a leash i have tried it all as soon as he gets a inch freedom he takes a lot more then a mile. If anyone has advice i really appreciate it also food does not interest him i don't know if i already said that but if anyone knows like a irresistible dog treat that would also be great (link)
i give my dogs puperoni its a dog treat brand that has different flavors and are meat sticks thats at petsmart, walmart etc. your dog is probably still in the puppy stage and gets overly excited and playful at the dog park and outside. my chihuahua does same thing so we have to leash him when he is out in the front yard. maybe best to just have a leash on your husky at dog park though sounds dont want to, least til he obeys you at home in backyard.
