How to trust

Betrayel sucks...
Especially since it only comes from the people you believe you can trust.

Not too long ago i had an experience with that.

This all happened because i didn't know how to trust.
Atleast not in the correct way.
I just gave my trust away to people.

And that is the one thing you should never do.
Don't ever give your trust to people, because trust isn't a toy or an object its an achievement.
It's earned and it should never be given.

I wasn't so naive that i did not know that.
My problem was that because everything was going great and it all felt so right i didn't see how anyone could possibly earn my trust so i start giving it away.

Because one of the univeral truths that we're all going to learn one day is, that trust can't be gain when you're going trough the nicer parts of your life.
Just like how a soldier can't gain a medal when there is no war happening.

 So i thought that it wouldn't do any good to use strategies of war in times of peace.
But i was wrong about that.

 The way you trust people is by giving them chances to hurt you.
time after time.
Multiple opportunities and chances to screw you over.
And then see what they'll do.
But you shouldn't be a fool who just allows people to hurt you.

Give them a gun and let them point it right at your chest and see if they pull the trigger or not.
But while all that's happening make sure that you got your bulletproof vest tightly on.

it's a way better way to go about in life, let people around show you if their worthy of your trust by giving them a way to betray it.
