Trust Me

It's a phrase that can scare a person when those two words are said. Putting your trust in someone one barely even knows or actually knows is a risky venture in itself. It's like gambling with one's own safety on the line and with a roll of the dice, he or she is willing to risk it all. Putting it all on the line if you will and hopefully those proverbial dice will not land on snake-eyes. A person has to be somewhat cautious when meeting new people because you never really know his or her true intentions. It's up to that person's instincts on whether to go ahead and further a friendship or potential and/or significant relationship.

Trust can play a big part in a friendship when total strangers come together and connect in certain ways. One such connection is through mere stupidity which in some ways is always an ice breaker. In any case, there is an unwritten rule among guys that a trusted friend never moves in on one's girlfriend/boyfriend. When that trust is broken, then the friendship is severed and all lines of communication are broken off. Yet, the trust that was broken can and will be mended, but it will take time and patience. It's just a matter of who takes the first step and part of being a friend is humility and knowing when to say, "I'm Sorry”.

Sometimes certain people click and the connection or vibe one feels for another can often be overwhelming. Overwhelmingly enough it's that one particular person he or she can't get out of his or her head. For it's just a matter of putting one's own trust in your emotions and/or feelings which will hopefully either work for you or against you. It's like opening Pandora's box, once he or she opens it, anything and everything inside will come out. Each of us have had that moment or two where one shared their innermost thoughts and feelings with that particular person, only to have those feelings not returned back.

In any case, it's hard really to trust someone when he or she has had it continuously broken. As human beings we can sometimes be too trusting to the point where each of us can have the rug swept from under us so to speak. We've all had people in our lives that we trusted and then stabbed us in the back. That person you once knew is now seen as a person that can't be trusted. It may take either days, months, years, or decades to fix, but oftentimes one may not want to fix it at all. It's an issue that can have a particular person not trust anybody at all and can turn someone totally bitter against the male or female species.

Frank Crane once said, ~You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment unless you trust enough. A person has to show that he or she can be trusted in order for a friendship or relationship to progress. There will always be people crossing our paths that will try to pull the wool over our eyes.~ Let me ask you this question: Who are the people that you trust the most and will have your back whenever you need them? For most, the answers come quickly but for others it's an unknown. Who do you absolutely trust to catch you when you start to fall or have fallen? In the end, trust can either kill you or set you free.
