On Thinking About Trust...

TRUST

- From the Old Norse word "Traust" meaning: reliance on the veracity, integrity, or other virtues of someone or something;

“We are all mistaken sometimes; sometimes we do wrong things, things that have bad consequences. But it does not mean we are evil, or that we cannot be trusted ever afterward.” ― Alison Croggon

There are a number of different lessons that I've begun to figure out about trust and other emotional drugs these past few years...

One of the main things is that, trusting a person, all boils done to choice. IN THE BEGINNING. Then it's all up in the air from then on forcing us upon relying on our more baser instincts of "trusting out gut" when it comes to continuing that level of trust you have for that person. But then again that choice does not necessarily have to be decided on right away.

Sometimes, fun times can get in the way of seeing the bigger picture of the sincerity of a person. That certain comfort zone that we fall into that includes that particular person can become blinders to how the they actually feel regarding your relationship.

COMFORT ZONE = "Where our uncertainty, scarcity and vulnerability are minimized — where we believe we’ll have access to enough love, food, talent, time, admiration. Where we feel we have some control." - Rene Brown

The overall illusion of that safe haven you have with having that person in your life, regardless of how much of an asshole he/she is, can leave you shying away from letting that relationship go. The fear that if it does shatter, the universe will steer you into a darker and more f**k'd up hell of an obscure world from where you're at.

Well then, COWARD, you may as well stay on course. "Better the devil you know," right? EHHHHH!!!!
