I know that this blog is supposed to be a "fun" blog but there's this thing that's been bugging me a lot lately. It's an issue some of us take for granted, some of us take seriously and some of us ignore completely. It's about Trust.

I typed in "trust" in the search bar on dictionary.com and of course, I shouldn't be surprised, there was about 24 meanings. Hmm.. for a small word, it sure has a big meaning.

I think that trust is powerful, it can make you or it can break you. When you give someone your trust, it's like giving them a part of you. So technically, if you have a group of people you trust, you give each of them little parts of you and ultimately, your life depends on them. Trusting someone can be likened to baring it all, going naked. The emotions you show are raw, the things you say are real, the memories you share are valid and you don't have to put on a face. It's natural for us to trust because without relying on each other as humans, we'll all be like blind people walking with no direction. I think that in our lives, there are only a handful of people we truly trust.

Trust is tricky. Trusting is risky. A person I met yesterday said a quote I think is worth emphasizing, "Assess the risk."
