Last year changed the landscape of trust for me. When my mom passed, the number of people I could say I trusted plummeted to zero, and eventually rose to 2.
I learned blood ties were nothing in relation to trust, that some people I loved so much and never doubted I could trust would be the very ones to do damage that may never repair, and that coming from a skeptical position on trusting new people might actually be generous.
I have been made aware that there are many different definitions of trust. The one I refer to is to have my back, to keep promises, that I could rely on these people in the future.
Yes, getting burglarized did a number on my trust in Hawaii and in general. What happened with my sister, Matt mostly, Sebastian, what happened in Colorado with my ex husband and a good friend. My mom dying was my worst fear. The people who I counted on to be there for me disappeared. I went through it completely alone.
It’s so funny, prior to that, so many good friends told me I trusted too easily. 🤣 Who was this girl? How did I go from trusting so freely that people who loved me wanted me to temper my trust to not being able to trust anyone? One year. The worst year of my life.
Currently only trust 2 people on earth, sadly they are chosen and not blood. At least these people have proven themselves.
