The older I get, the more complex I realize trust is. Trust isn’t sharing secrets and not telling lies.
Trust is giving someone ammunition to hurt you and they don’t. Trust is inviting someone into the depths of you that nobody sees and they keep those depths safe. Trust is allowing someone to take your burden. Trust is saying what you need to say without fear. Trust is showing someone how ugly you can be and they don’t forget your beauty. Trust is letting someone remind you how great you are when you feel that you aren’t and you believe them.
Trust is never about spoken words and promises. Trust is about safeguarding the heart and soul when it’s exposed to the elements of destruction.
