I believe in trust.

I believe that all relationships begin and end with this simple concept of trust. It can make a person feel supported and love but it can also utterly destroy an individual.

What is trust?

According to the Webster dictionary it is a firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength of someone or something. I would say that it is true for the most part but also completely wrong simultaneously, for you cannot define a feeling such as trust as it is uniquely definitive to everyone who experiences it. But I do believe in my own unique type of trust.

I believe in an emotion that cannot be fathomed in simple words. It must be felt. It must be evoked. Trust is something that connects two people without speech. It is continually building making every relationship ever so strong. It is a feeling that can make someone feel like home, make it much too easy to poor all your fears and secrets into one being. And that is why trust, even though it can make everything seemingly better, can also become a tragic flaw.

Trusting another being allows for one to become significantly vulnerable to the other as it allows for everything to become present upon the table. One becomes completely exposed all due to this simple feeling of trust. The remarkable part is that this occurs willingly because I believe that all individuals yearn to feel this connection with another. It is of human nature to be trusting and to simultaneously desire trust in return.

Innately, I believe that all humans are naturally trusting, good people. Yet one wrong experience can completely change the dynamic of everything – it can change you forever. Trust issues exist and are very valid. My mother once told me of an analogy with regards to trust. It is like a piece of paper. Once it is crumpled, it can never be the same pristine sheet it once was. Similarly, once trust is broken, it can never be mended and returned to normal again.

I believe in the power of trust.

This I believe.
