Dear Future Me,
Trust is such a fragile thing. It exists in your mind and yours alone. And yet, you project that trust onto another human and expect much from the journey.
Why must a perception that exists in you, be rewarded? No one is obliged to reciprocate it.
Why must you feel heartache based on another human's actions? No one asked you to trust them. You chose to.
Why must the trust you have built, become the basis of how you deal with people? They have not changed. Your expectations have.
You trust in people, in actions, in what you feel, because it is what allows you to move forward into the unknown each day. And that is an excellent way of life. Hold onto that, but never forget that the trust is yours, not theirs.
Love,
Today's Me
(A tough week has just passed with much heartache. What I'm definitely proud of though, was my ability to stay neutral and deal with people calmly. Self reliance is the best way forward.)
