Trust. The foundation of all relationships. Whether it may be with a significant other or a friend, every friendship is tied together with trust. It's the one thing that takes awhile to build, but can be destroyed so quickly. It's essential though.

I've had my fair share of trust issues based on a number of experiences. Through those obstacles though, I really learned the importance behind it. Without trust, two people really can not collaborate together. Trust is needed when you're talking and sharing personal information and stories with someone, trust is needed when a couple spends time apart, trust is needed in the workplace. You're surrounded by circumstances when trust is a necessity, you just don't see it until it's not there.

I believe that this is a great value to have. Being someone that others can trust is something that will go a long way. It's good when someone needs advice, or a person to confide in. It's good when you go out to a party and your boyfriend or girlfriend doesn't have to worry about what you may be doing. It says a lot about a person who is loyal, reliable, and trustworthy. And those are qualities that will be remembered.

Surround yourself with the right kinds of people. Those who you would trust with your life. Those who you can go to. Those who you can be yourself with. Luckily, I live in a sorority and have over fifty girls who I know have my back. I've got a great boyfriend who I never have to worry about. Trust keeps relationships running. Trust is the foundation for the rest of the friendship to be built upon.
