Day One Hundred Fitty-Nine:  Oh I’m a keeper, won’t you keep me?

Trusting people is an important aspect of social life.  Letting people in, and seeing the person you are, with the possibility that they might use it against you or leave or not care.  Trusting people with information, with your secrets, with your heart, all kinds of things, and we all do it.  We all let people in and out, pass through us like ghosts, and then continue on with our lives.  Very little do people of gravity at one point ever stay for a true long amount of time.  Even family sometimes lets you down, and when that happens it just becomes something you know.  But when it comes to someone new to trust it’s a little different.  You get that choice, that idea that maybe you could, and how to go about letting them in, and letting them see the things you hide and hold close to you.  In residence you learn to get close to people really quickly.  When travelling you see parts of people you wouldn’t normally.  There are just things that we trust and keep to ourselves and only open up for certain people.    If you have people you trust, and they’re special to you, let them know.  Maybe they already know it, or maybe you tell them often, but it is always nice to know that someone trusts you, and that you can be someone’s trust.

In a way I just wanted to speak about this a little today, and remind some people that they are special to me and I trust them.  That’s an important thing to me.
