We suffer most not from what people do, but from what we expect them to be. Labels - sister, friend, lover - turn human flaws into unbearable wounds. Betrayal cuts deepest when it comes wrapped in the promise of loyalty. In "Trust People to Be People," Karen's journey exposes the brutal truth: family can steal your future, friends can shatter your trust, love can break your heart... not because they hate you, but because they are human. Flawed. Imperfect. Limited. This is a haunting story of depression, betrayal, and survival - and the liberation found when we stop demanding perfection and start accepting human nature for what it is.
