Hello, I don't know anything, really. I think He cares, and I think He wants us to be happy. If something does not feel right to you in your relationships with others, I think this is something you should call out and examine. God can't decide for you who is right for you (in my opinion), but He...

What you say makes sense :-) Thank you.

I completely agree with you. I can't have a commited relationship for the moment, and I intend to wait before marriage when that happens, because I need a high level of intimacy to form trust with someone, it just makes sense. I'm happy for you and how you overcame that :-) I do hope my...

Je suis tuteur de français sur internet, je sais que ça peut être difficile d'apprendre une langue tout seul. Tu étudies aussi le chinois par toi-même ?

Ca doit être très difficile ! Je suis sûr que tu parviendras à parler très bien français si tu peux apprendre le chinois.

Il n'y a pas de problème, ce n'était pas une critique :-) Le plus important, c'est d'essayer et de ne pas avoir peur de faire des fautes ! (J'apprends le néerlandais et je suis très mauvais :D )

I put the "trigger warning banner" to avoid having to make metaphors and to speak true to my heart. I hope you don't feel disturbed if you read this. When I was a teenage boy (I was nowhere close to God by then), I discovered my sexual arousal towards boys. I started to date them. All the...

Je ne sais pas, beaucoup de choses m'intéressent ! Je suis étudiant en philosophie, j'aime bien les choses compliquées :D Et j'aime bien savoir comment les autres vivent, partout dans le monde. J'aime bien connaître le quotidien des gens. Il a dit : I saw your English was better than my...

There is something I didn't mention: I live in a country where tuition is cheap, and I currently live with my parents. I wouldn't want you to take risks that would put you on the street. But you got the idea: do what you were meant to do, what makes you want to get up in the morning and what...

Je n'ai pas compris, désolé ! :-) Tu veux visiter la France mais tu ne peux pas le faire ?

I'll take my own example, in the hope that it's useful to you: It took me years to go back to the major I was actually enjoying. I did a first year back in 2009, during which I had terrible grades, and I kind of ran away because I became too afraid of failing again. I did many different jobs and...

Je suis francophone, si quelqu'un veut discuter en français, il est le bienvenu :-)

What you said is quite helpful :-) Exactly, it feels like I'm pretending. I'm going to try and ask God to help me though that. I have a question (maybe this is not the right place for that): how do you know what are sins and what are not? I'm a bit afraid to think about that, because I'm...

Thank you Winken, and thanks to all of you for your messages. Those verses are really helpful to me. I'm going to write them down to meditate them regularly. I read the Gospels (I've read Mark and I'm starting Matthew). I found the gospel of Mark helps to open my heart. I have to read them...

Hello! I'm not used to spirituality. I was raised in an Atheist household and I feel kind of a impostor when I try to get closer to any kind of faith at all. That being said, I do admit there is a part of me seeking for something more. I'm a philosophy student, thus I often look for "something...
