Trust Is Something To Value

Don't stop trusting in others because you stopped trusting in yourself.

Trust Is Something To Value
Taylor Caponigro

I grew up learning many valuable lessons, but as I have gotten older the word trust has been something I have instilled in all my values and beliefs. It's a short word, but it encompasses a whole lot of meanings. We trust people every day without even realizing it. Trust is important.

Today, I trusted the guy at Starbucks to make my order just right. I trusted a website to use my credit card information to make a purchase. I trusted my car to get me to the closest gas station. I trusted my coat to keep me warm on my cold morning walk to class. I trusted my pencil to not break during my exam.

Without knowing it, trust guided my daily actions.

Who are we without trust?

When you only trust yourself, life becomes a burden. We all at some time find trust in people because people can make good out of bad matters. If my car never made it to the closest gas station, I would have trusted someone to help me. If my pencil broke during my exam, I would have trusted someone to let me borrow theirs.

It's easy to trust people we come across rarely, but as people, we find it a challenge to put a continuous trust on the people close to us in our lives. We fear that by putting too much trust in someone, they will only hurt us.

Life is about trust and mistrust. It's trial and error finding what works and what doesn't. Find people you trust by giving them the opportunity to be trustworthy and if they let you down know that there are always more people out there who are worthy.

Don't stop trusting in others because you stopped trusting in yourself.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
