Trust is about relying on someone, letting ourselves be vulnerable and fragile, totally dependent on someone. It is a token of something pure and innocent, a way of expressing confidence and pure beliefs. Something beautiful and overwhelming. Appreciation without apprehension. A bond that if you are careful will last through almost anything, but with a misstep can be broken as easily as any china.

Its strength is in its vulnerability. Its kindness and willingness to sacrifice and be naked in front of the other grasp its essence. Trust is something you cannot fake. Either you have it or you do not have it. It can be built upon but once lost it is almost impossible to repair. It is a fine line that is so easy to cross and so hard to be noticed. Trust is like love. It's up to us to make the choice. By choosing to trust, you never lose. It is not about the outcome but the intent. Nobody ever wins anything if there is nothing to be trusted. Someone has to start— why not let it be you? It is all about trust, and the final outcome is not up to you.
