Trust.
Those 5 letters make me want to vomit sometimes.
How we give them to someone and they break it.
Relationships, friends, family.... so easily broken.
I can remember as a little girl the first time I felt deceived by my best friend. She had told one of the boys we grew up with something I asked her not to. Something that never really happened with us but we were going through changes in our life. We went from being one of the boys to actually liking them. So, naturally things changed, and our lines of what secrets should be kept and shouldn't had also.
That stung a little.
I can remember when I was 17 and being so in love with this guy I was dating. Everything was perfect, we spent tons of time together, went on dates and riding around in his truck. Until one day he started acting weird, he told me he would be at my house at a certain time and he never showed. I ended up running into him at a local store, a girl sitting in his truck with him.
That one stung a little more.
I've lost trust from friendships and relationships plenty of times...
When someone betrays your trust... let it hurt... then let it go.
Forgive them.
Release that negative energy so you don't harbor a root of resentment in your heart.
Sometimes it takes being the bigger person to be compassionate.
Put yourself in their shoes.... what caused them to betray your trust.
What are they going through that doesn't make them see clearly that definition of trust between you two.
Everyone has freedom of choice.
Whether they choose to keep your trust, or throw it away, that's okay.
At the end of the day you know your worth, and you're worth it.
And someone out there will admire that.
They will not break your trust.
Just remember not to give it out too easily.
Not everyone deserves it.
And don't worry about all what you're wanting someone to trust...
We’ve all got baggage.... just have to find the one who’s willing to help us unpack.
Only you know deep in your heart who deserves your trust.
Until next time....
