trust


After being around for a while and being a survivor. i have learned many things.
There is something that i keep coming back to. due to experiences i have lost the real ability to trust or to believe.
In many ways this is sad. It makes trying to even form a friendship difficult. It makes it almost impossible to form a deeper or committed relationship.
Where does the fault lye for the loss of trust? It would be so easy to say that it was with the ones that betrayed my trust. But i have to take ownership of this lack of trust. This failing within myself. It is a way to protect myself, but often leads to me causing myself more pain. It makes me shut many out of my life who could be a warm addition to it.
There are times that my lack of trust makes for a very lonely world to live in. yet in this world i am safe from harm.
Is this really living?
Not really

Trust indeed is tricky ~dusty~

I know I open myself up for a bruised heart from time to time, but never seem to get close enough to let it ever be broken again. I know that I have a few friends, and even some good ones, but trust? Yes indeed a tricky one for sure, and yet the human interaction is a joyous occasion when those sparks ignite.

Be Safe

Trust, loyalty, faithfulness, vows- all ideals that apparently exist only to be betrayed, broken, or pretended to. Men have no corner on this market-my last(only!) two mates were less than stellar performers in this area. I also find myself living a life that will incur no further hurt to my psyche- while sometimes lonely, still preferable to the anger and despondency felt when I learned the truth about my partners. Remain true to yourself and God. Yours in empathy. R.
