When reading this letter I want you to sit down and think about what I am saying. It has been ten years since I graduated. It has been ten years since high school. I am going to assume not much has changed with you and your relationship with the word trust. You hate that word because no matter how hard you try you still find it hard to trust the people around you. I am not talking about trusting them with a secret. I mean trusting them to not hurt you. Maybe by now you know why this is. But I still don’t. I had a dream last night that a friend who I really want to trust hurt me. I woke up crying because I know subconsciously I don’t trust him. The feel sucks.
I want to tell you to not be afraid of trusting people not to hurt you. I'm not saying go find a guy on the street and marry him. Maybe you are already married now. I just want you to take a deep breathe the next time you meet someone new and are ready to walk away. I don't want you to think of all the bad that could go wrong in the relationship but think about the good. Weather it is a new romance or just a friendship try to trust them.
The fraze trust until they give you a reason not to. I reworded this a long time ago. I say don't trust until they give you a reason to. I want you to work on trusting people. Giving them the benefit of doubt and wholeheartedly trusting them.
Love
Ashley
