Trust. What is trust? Trust can be believing in someone to do the right thing for you. But trust can as well be blindly hoping they do the right thing, but being scared they won't. Sadly, we won't ever know who to rightly trust and who not. It's walking into a dark alley. You don't know where you're going. When it'll end. How long it lasts. Where the obstacles are. What the next thing you're going to trip over will be. How big. How small. So dark. So unknown. Such a risk. One has to put out everything they have to trust another person. To put it all in their hands, and TRUST they won't drop it all. Step on it. Throw it away. Many take trusting other people to be such a small task. But no. To me? It's the biggest. You're left completely vulnerable afterwards. Left with nothing but the hope they won't fail you. And that? The unknown. The thought of everything possibly being lost? That is what I cannot handle. So I am sorry I cannot trust you. I am sorry I've been let down before. That my trust I let others hold, had been dropped, stepped on, thrown into the big pile of garbage. I can't help it. I can't simply learn to "trust" a person. There will always be doubt with me. Always. Because that's how I operate. Prepare for the worst. And when it happens, you won't be as hurt. That's how I've lived though life. So I can't trust you. I am sorry.
