To trust...
... is to expand. To grow. To be aware of the person I aspire to be. A personal
journey that calls for a leap of faith into the unknown. A courageous act of
vulnerability that exposes my deepest fears and insecurities. It’s an act of
trust that gifts me the opportunity to grow, to learn about myself and to
deepen my emotional connection with others. Through my own experience,
I have learnt that trust is the cornerstone of all meaningful relationships, be
they with friends, family or partners. When I trust others, I admittedly open
myself up to the possibility of pain, but I also expose myself to the richness
of life, creativity, and community.
The possibility of a world without trust seems bleak to me. Filled with
loneliness, fear, emptiness. I choose to believe in the power of trust.
To believe in the goodness of others, and in myself. Through trust,
I’ve found that life is not just about survival, but about thriving and
experiencing our full range of emotions; about growing into the best
version of ourselves.
