trust, the human vase

as i have said before, i view relationships as one of the most important things a human being has.

the two MOST important things in a relationship are respect and trust. as Walter Anderson said, “We're never so vulnerable than when we trust someone - but paradoxically, if we cannot trust, neither can we find love or joy” Trust is so essential to a relationship, but it leaves you open for an unimagineable pain.

i was talking to a very good friend of mine, someone whose trust i have broken, and she has gone through that pain, and we were talking about trust. we try to avoid talking about what happened, for both of our sakes, i feel absolutely terrible about it still, and would do anything in the world to make it up to her. we have fixed our friendship, and i trust her more than anyone in the world (excluding family) but i dont expect her to trust me. trust, once broken, can never be fully mended, there will always be that hole there.

if you are reading this, and im sure you will, i just want you to know that im writing about this because its on my mind right now. i dont expect anything to come of it, i gave up on that a long time ago and i can safely say now that ive moved on. please dont take this the wrong way, im just saying whats on my mind, and that conversation earlier put this on my mind.

trust, like a vase is breakable, and once broken can be put back together, but will never be the same
