I remember back to my HS days when I would think to myself of certain words, while writing my essays. The thesaurus would always be a great help. I remember my first real relationship, I felt like he fit all the categories of being a superbly awesome boyfriend: honest, loyal, trustworthy, kind, generous, loving, thoughtful, etc, etc. He was what any girl would want and any girl deserves.
An old HS friend posted this on FB (facebook) recently:
"The danger is that once trusted and broken now shy is not a motto that will support the building of future relationships."
and we carried a petite conversation:
me: says who?! :D
him: Without trust how can you honestly have a relationship? Trust is the foundation of a relationship. If its ever broken, its hard to trust again.
me: wise words my good man, this is true, this is VERY VERY true. But I wonce heard that love conquers all, is that not so
him: How do you Love someone if you can't Trust that person?
me: even more true
That day, I thought about this post for a while and realized that in fact, there can be no love without trust. This made me sad. I thought love would indeed conquer all but how can one love another if there is no sense of security?
I came to the realization that the relationship I had with my HS boyfriend was true, it was real, he was real. But that was HS, this is 13 years later, in another ended relationship, working hard to make it happen, make love happen for us, again-somehow-if possible, with the lack of trust.
