Who Can I Trust?

Belief. Yes, that is the word that I think is the backbone of every relationship. Without belief or trust, no relationship can ever go on. Once the trust has been broken, it is hard to even contemplate trusting anyone again. You feel like you're falling into a deep, endless pit your trust has been broken. Can I give another chance? Is it worth trying to trust the person who in my view has blatantly broken the backbone of any relationship?

The mind boggles as to what can be done in situations like this. Maybe I can move on, act as if this never happened. Maybe I can say "go to hell" and part ways. All my life, I have been inclined to do the latter. Any breach of trust would lead me to believe that the person is simply not worth living, let alone talking to. I don't even care if that is right or wrong. My beliefs on this issue are strong and I don't ever think that they will change.

Why is it that today, I feel like I can trust people who I would have never associated that word with a couple of months ago? How can I feel like not even looking at the faces of people who I could have said anything about my life to at any time? Is this just a knee jerk or am I over reacting about the whole thing? I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't even know how to react properly.

One thing is for sure, things will never be the same ever again. I realize that and I'm sure everyone would realize that. Sometimes people don't really think rationally in certain situations, but can that be an excuse for whatever is said? I think not. Time might be able to put a band aid over a fracture, but the fracture will never heal. That's where I begin to think that its all futile. I guess then, that it is all over. Once the trust is gone, so is the relationship.
