How can I trust someone who was never there for me in my most difficult moments, who always walked away when I needed help, who preferred to stay away while I struggled to overcome my difficulties on my own? And now, after so many falls and so many injuries, you want me to give up trust empty-handed? How can I trust the empty words of someone who wasn’t there when the fight really happened? I want to trust, but fear still paralyzes me and doubts eat away at me, because I’m afraid of giving up and getting hurt again. How can I trust someone who tells me that the world can change when my world has been destroyed so many times? Since my pain has made me distrust everything and everyone, how can I overcome these fears, remove the ties that bind me, and trust people again, especially myself?????
