I often wonder, is how we trust more a reflection of ourselves? I know, it's a difficult topic and some people face more betrayal, hurt than others, but I think any person carries some, and we do have choices, inside ourselves in how we deal with betrayal. I've been betrayed, I chose to try and heal with the person, instead of continuing being angry or self-deprecatingly, jaded. They linger in feelings, and you don't wish those feelings away, and they are gone - but I do feel, letting yourself heal, and avoiding stereotypes as much as you can are healthy things you can do for yourself.

@SW-User Ive been betrayed more times than i care to count. I've always been able to show grace and forgiveness to myself as well as them, hold on to hope, lick my wounds, look forward to tomorrow. This time is different. None of that applies. At some point, even hope abandons us.

@LadyBronte Yes, but that doesn't change it's a personal journey, and I wish I had answers for you, where I don't.

@SW-User There are no answers nor dis I expect anyone to have them. It was just a question. Thanks.

@LadyBronte I know it was a question, and I'm glad you see it as a question - there is many moments I would love to change, that would change how I see the world, and asking yours is, to me, you being open to many possible answers.
