Trust in a World of Angst

Trust. It's quintessential to a healthy relationship of any kind. Trust. It's inherent in our species from birth, yet somehow we manage to escape the naivete of believing beyond measure. Trust. It's the spaces in between...in between the commas, in between the conversations, in between the commonalities.

Saying you trust someone and actually living it are two different realizations. How do you really know whether the other person's words and actions are true and authentic? Is it simply enough to rely on your heart for such intense matters? Or could it be that you just so desperately want it to be true that you believe even when all arrows point otherwise?

In relationships built on lies and deception, is there a point, or series of points, where one realizes the other is being dishonest? And what of insecurity, simply finding it difficult to believe...believe that someone so wonderful can love you, just the way you are?

In my world, I am not cautious with my heart. I hurt immensely...a lot, but one day, I am hoping the pain and suffering will win, win over the skeptics in this upside down world in which we live.
