Trust

Of all the friends you have, how many of them can you trust? Do you have full faith that they won't go around telling people your business? What about knowing that they won't stab you in the back or steal from you?

That's something I thought about tonight after I woke up from my nap. I don't really talk to many people at all about what's going on in my life. I like to keep to myself for the most part. This blog on the other hand is a good resource for people to find out what's going on inside my head.

I don't really trust many people to talk to. I could probably count only eight people that I could rely on to keep the information to themselves, and to give me well thought out feedback as well.

One person that was very good at that was Ellen. She has excellent critical thinking skills, along with the ability to escape from a closed off mind. Ellen and I talked about a lot of topics/ life experiences that could be deemed sensitive. Even though we haven't talked in months; I could still trust her, and she can trust me (don't know if she does) to keep the information learned private.

That's just something I thought about tonight. You should always have a handful of people you can talk to about serious problems, and really confide in them. Everyone doesn't need to know your business; it's always a good feeling when you know that someone else can understand where you're coming from.
