Easily Shattered

"Trust takes years to build, but only seconds to shatter." -Unknown

I know from personal experience that this quote is SOOO true.  Like, you think you can trust someone and suddenly, BAM! they completely break your trust and everything spirals downhill from there.  In the last couple years, I've gone through a lot that's definitely broken trust with some people that I THOUGHT I could trust.  Yeah, look how that turned out.  In all honesty, I'm actually glad that God decided to put me through all of that.  Yes, it sucked at the time, but I wouldn't be where I am today without all of these past events.  It's definitely harder to trust people now, and I find myself questioning the authenticity of certain friendships sometimes, but I can't let any of that stop me.  If it hadn't been for anything that happened a few years ago, I probably wouldn't be really good friends with some really important people in my life now.  I really don't know where I'm going with this blog (shocker, right?)  I guess what I'm trying to say is be careful with who you trust.  Trust is a HUGE thing and so many people take advantage of it now.  Broken trust can ruin relationships forever no matter how much you try to fix it.  From recent experience, I know that even if you can somewhat fix a broken relationship, chances are that it will never be at the same level that it was at before.  Building trust slowly is a long process, but in the end it will definitely work out better.
