To love is to trust. To trust is to believe.

This is something I'm working on. Well, I honestly think a lot of people are working on this. What better can ruin love than distrust? Trust ties together all relationships. Trust is important in oneself and in others. 

I most certainly cannot love another if I can't trust that person. Nor can I love another if I don't trust myself. 

Ugh am I making sense? I don't know if it makes sense on paper, but it makes sense in my head...

Lesson on love from The Oatmeal

This was...

sweet?

cute?

slightly horrifying?

but totally true.

The best thing for being sad...

    “The best thing for being sad," replied Merlyn, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake in the middle of the night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world around you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting." (from The Sword and the Stone)

Perhaps I need to give this book another try... Merlyn speaks the truth.
