This Is Why I Trust Too Easily

Sometimes it comes back to bite you.

I trust too easily.

I see the best in everyone and I take everything to heart. I love seeing the potential others have and working with it. I am one to never see the bad in people. I believe in second, third, fourth, and fifth chances. This is what I mean when I say I trust too easily.

We are born into a world where we know nothing of the bad actions one person may be capable of. We learn to trust based on impression and sometimes you don't know that the first impression is wrong. I trust people easily because I believe that people do not put up a front. I believe that a facade is only something you hear about in movies. There is no such thing as a fake friend. I want to believe that everyone is good, and I do that.

I always refuse that people have a bad side. People are good and they remain good. I know this is not true but for some reason my mind convinces me that every time I meet someone new they are as good as they appear. I believe what others may say, not knowing the bumps in their friendship or why they are friends in the first place.

I see the beauty in everyone and I make sure that they know that. I am loyal, I stay close and care. In the end, this is not true for everyone. Some people are two faced and they will knock you down. You care for someone so deeply that you almost can't believe they are talking about you negatively behind your back. They hurt you and they are two faced, but you do not want to believe it because they men so much to you. You trusted someone and realize that trusting them was a mistake. You made one of the worst choices by choosing to trust them and letting them be a part of your life.

I trust too easily because I want people to be as genuine as I try to be, and that just isn't how life works.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
