Blog Besties - Cyber Love

Today I have had a last minute switch up of posts due to the amazing blog post from Rebecca over at Forever after Undecided : Cyber Love for Grown-Ups

We have been blog besties for years now and I received a message telling me to check out her blog today (not that I wouldn't of course). I have to admit that I actually teared up reading it. I nodded along with every word and sentiment and ever teared up! Between us we have definitely been through a lot of difficult times and she has been there to help me. Even more so than some of my friends who are where I live. I know I can trust her to understand my 'down days' and help me see the positive in times when I can't see it myself.


Head on over to her blog and show my blog bestie some love today! Perhaps you could share stories of your own blog friendships?

Thank you for the kind words Miss Rebecca!       Today I am linking up with Leeann. Head on over and join in the hop with your own gossip!

Trust...

Honesty and trust. I think they both go hand in hand. There are situations where people are supposedly being honest but because of certain factors it is hard to know if it is the truth. Is it a reflection on your own self belief if you can't trust what is being said or does it reflect on the person saying those words?

“Self-trust is the first secret of success”
Ralf Waldo Emmerson

 

 

I am the type of person who finds trust extremely difficult, for one reason or another I lack belief in others and the honesty of their words. Is this because I actually lack belief in myself? Lately I have found myself in a situation which I did not think I would be in. My past has came back and not in the way which I ever expected. There has been many a conversations and in those conversations there has been a lot of honest words spoken. However, my problem lies in the fact of trust. Do the words being said to me have real, honest meaning or are they just that...words?

Trust, in particular with me, needs to be earned. Will it suddenly hit me that yes I feel like I wanna trust someone? Will it be the opposite where I realise that the trust for this person will never be there. On the flip side, others believe that trust should be given freely until someone gives you reason not to have it?

I am starting to come to the conclusion that maybe this is the time which I need to trust myself and others. If things go wrong, they can be fixed but if I don't make an attempt to trust the words said to me will it make it even harder to trust in the future? At the end of the day, if my trust is broken then I deal with it but if not then all is good.

“You must trust and believe in people or life becomes impossible.”

Anton Chekhov

I am aware that this post seems rather confusing but I guess this represents the confusion in my mind at the moment. I am not sad confused, I am just simply confused. When the past comes into your life, you wonder why now? Why at all? Complicated times I guess but hopefully not for much longer.

Do you need trust to be earned or do you give trust until proven otherwise?
