George MacDonald says, “To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved.” I believe this to be true, for loving someone is easy but trusting them may just prove to be the hardest thing in the world. A mere five letter word has never proven to me to be so powerful… or so powerless. Beginning with the self, and being hopeful enough to find it within another. It is a word that can be solidified through action, or inaction. Forming a foundation to something beautiful, or shattering forever through one simple act. I haven’t quite decided whether or not I’ll ever come to understand the concept behind the word, or ever genuinely feel the intensity which lay within the letters t-r-u-s-t. What a strange word, trust.
