Love and trust...trust and love

I think that "I love you" is sometimes easier to say than, "I trust you." Because trust is not the easiest thing, although to truly enjoy loving someone you have to trust them totally. A lack of trust is actually something very dangerous that has the potential to break the best of relationships. A lack of trust is toxic. So it is important to get rid of any emotional, physical or psychological baggage related to trust in order to have the freedom to build trust in your relationships a day and step at a time. Honesty is of course an essential step in doing so...don't be afraid...just say it. But watch how you say what you want to say...Timing is key or else you might  end up tearing  down your relationship instead of building it.

Trust and betrayal side by side

Sometimes the hardest thing to do after being betrayed is learning to trust again. For some it does not come easy when they end up extremely adhering to "Love all...but trust one"  which can lead to them being bitter and distant to even trustworthy people.

However, everything has got its balance. I think distrust in moderation is a good tactic that can shield us from getting hurt when used well. Nevertheless, there are times we need to learn to trust others again or gain their trust.

Last but not least, know the difference between when it time to move on and throw out the "trash" after betrayal; and when it is actually time to recycle that "trash".
