" . . . betrayal begins with trust." Quote_Phish If you had never trusted him to be THE one and had not proffered him your heart~~ Accept it, love. Please treat it tenderly~~ it could not have been wholly ripped apart. If you had never trusted anyone with secrets that you felt the need to share, there’d be no repercussions that would stun, embarrassment, or deepest thoughts laid bare. But if you trusted no one, could your life be seen as full and healthy? Those who feel the path that sidesteps every chance of strife is best will forfeit much of life’s appeal. Trust often is the catalyst for pain, but lack of trust can surely be life’s bane. May 22, 2023 Contest Name: Writing Challenge - B Quotes Placed 2nd Sponsor: Constance La France
