Trust

Got some bad news that can turn your day upside down? Everyone gets them ... and I’m no exception.

As some people may have notice, I have not been much spending time with family and old college friends. So today I had an opportunely to do both. One went great and the other went south.

Today, I got to strengthen my communication bond and trust with my family. I opened up and they did the same. Now, I have new hope in resolving some old issues as a family.

As for my friends, they recently had been trying really hard in pushing me to get a girlfriend ... I, however, did not know how far they were willing to go. I know they meant well and I will always love them like family, but sometimes they can really make your head spins... and my blood boil!

In a previous post, I mention that I did not like when someone falsify information ... such as sending a message under someone else name. Guess what? Deja vu!!! It all started when I did not return call back a city-girl who I barely know, but I know enough that she likes me (bad timing). After 2 days, I did try to call city-girl back to apologize and straighten things out, but no answer. I had also asked a close friend for some personal advices, but she in turn relayed my person confession to my other close friend ... and somehow the news got back to city-girl. This is when things get messy. I finally tried emailing city-girl ... and I got back 2 replies, one nice and the other harsh ... very different in style. My immediate response was harsh (yet proportional) ... BUT that harsh email from city-girl was NOT written by city-girl ... it was one of my friends who was trying to provoke me to take strong action.

Today, my friends confessed to me and I got into a heated argument ... a fight! I wanted to stay mad at them ... and yet, in my heart, I forgave them ... am I strange or what? But, it will take some time to rebuild that trust that we once had.

How many levels of trust have been broken?
