Trust is a funny thing. It’s so hard to build up and so easy to destroy. My parents used to tell me this all the time and I never fully understood. I’d do something stupid and lie about it, and they’d express their disappointment at how I couldn’t be trusted. Then for weeks or even months I’d be good and tell the truth and they wouldn’t listen. Over time, trust can be earned back, but it can just as easily be swept away again. The more it happens, the more difficult it is to rebuild, until you finally just pack up and decide to place your trust elsewhere. I never really understood my parents and how they could seem so hurt over something as trivial as a lie. That was then. This is now. And one very large deception has called so much into question in my life.
