Trust

Have you ever thought to yourself, 'Why do these people trust me?'

The people that are around you, or the people that speak to you and tell you their most innermost thoughts and secrets (sometimes, these people aren't even close to you, they are just people that gravitate to you and seem to open up!)

But don't ever sit down and reflect on that? Trust is a very fragile thing-- it can be compared to an egg; once you drop that egg, it's never the same again. This is exactly what happens with trust.

I always fear when people trust me-- not in a bad way, but in a more respective way-- because why would someone want to trust me with their secrets, or anything else for that matter? It's a scary thing to betray someone's trust or to abuse it.

Whenever I see that someone trusts me, I'm always careful with that person, making sure that I do the right thing-- I wouldn't want someone else to do betray or abuse my trust, so why would I dare d
o that to somebody else?

Over the course of my life I've had people tell me their secrets, confide in me about things that they haven't told anyone else-- I've had people giving me responsibilities that I don't even deserve to have.. and I always ask myself why?

I find it to be a privilege-- and at the same time it's something that always puts me in my place and helps me to be a better person.
