Why Trust Some But Not Others

Do you trust me?

Trust, one of the hardest things to earn but can be lost in a minute. I am one of those people who basically don’t trust anyone. I trust my family and a few select friends. I was not always like this, but if there is one thing I have learned in life it’s that people don’t ever change. Since no one changes either, why would I trust someone before I truly know them? Know their values and what kind of person they really are. But, the worst part is when someone you trust breaks it. For some, I would let you regain it, but for the majority, you’re done.

I have attended four schools, not including college, and switching buildings and such. But four actual different schools in three different countries. I am grateful that I have because I would not be the person I am today and I truly loved moving around. The downside though was that it has created a state of “everyone leaves” or the fact that one day I will leave and move on with my life. It’s sad to say, but it’s the truth. We all noticed that when we started college you only really talk to a few people from home daily. I experienced this for the first time when I was 12 and left my home in Sweden and moved to Switzerland. The majority of the people you think you are friends with, they leave and personally I do not see the point in trusting people who aren’t worth it.

Even though moving around has taught me much about trust, I think the worst part about trust is how easily someone can break it and once its broken there really is no turning back. Even though you that person may have made one mistake, if they can make it one time what’s stopping them from doing it again? And how do I know this is the first time. It puts many undesired and frankly sickening thoughts and questions into your head. What I always find surprising though is how the person who broke your trust never truly gets it. Cannot understand what they did wrong and think that you are being unfair even though the feeling of someone breaking your trust, is very close to having your heart broken. Some may not see the resemblance, but to someone who has trust issues this is not taken lightly. I have one life and I would rather spend it with people I love and can trust than with many people that I cannot.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
