The Art Of Our Thoughts

The thing about trust

You ever feel that burning in your chest expand and intensify when something bad happens?

Not just bad, almost heart-dropping, like your world is crashing down on you and you're too weak to hold it up?

That's what breaking someone's trust feels like.

That's how painful it is.

I guess most of us, we're scared of giving our all to someone, to trust them to not hurt us. And that's normal, in the end, humans would do anything to avoid heartache and pain, so they don't trust easily.

We don't trust easily.

We want to, we need to believe that this person who is sitting next to us, that is slowly becoming such an important element in our life, has the same good intentions we have for them.

But after a while, after you become less naive, you understand that people who are out there to hurt you and rip your heart to shreds are the majority over those who are there to save you.

Save you from others, and from yourself.

I guess I'm trying to understand why people do that, why do they hurt you?

My mother told me that people who are out there trying to hurt people, suffer from a void inside of them, and that inflicting pain on others might be a way for them to fill that emptiness.

Which is scary, terrifying really, but the world didn't change from good to bad overnight, it has always been bad, we just didn't see it before.

I don't know, does trust mean as much to everyone else as it does to me?

I'm not sure but I hope so, just so when I give someone my trust they understand to treat it tenderly,

And vice versa.
