Trusting people is not a weakness; it's what makes you special and everybody should take a lesson from you in that respect. The fact that this trust is being taken advantage of by unscrupulous people (happens to me all the time to), doesn't diminish that in the slightest. We *should* be able to trust each other more and you're a shining example of that *fact*. Just look at how much *good* you do in Helpie, for example. Please, don't underestimate the *positive effect* on peoples attitudes and moods your ever smiling presence has... Your "blind trust" makes this world a better place, and the people who can't see that, or can see that and take advantage of that, wel that's *their* loss! ;-)

If you hear that sound in the closet... run! I'd hate to lose you ;-) <3

You showing trust in people is a lesson for them to learn. Perhaps the person felt that way because they were already down and needed someone to "dump" the blame on.  Which is not always ok. People need to find the root of their problems and not just be ok with feeding their garbage on to people. You are an amazing being. Never forget that.

And just think, you are still my puppeteer. The master of puppets :p

I remember my mother crying by the window... she would also cry alone no to disturb me, whenever I asked... what is wrong, Mum? She would just say, go to bed, Pris. I have a toothache. A tooth ache that went for years until I grew conscious that she was bearing too much. And kind of everyone knew but she always composed herself. My mum I must say is like the naivest most innocent person I know. She did not deserve a tear, none. 

 I found myself crying alone too, too many times, just not to "bother" others and maybe inherited from my mother. She was and is, like I am *quiet*. 
I happen not to be a bird but a ratty maybe... and same... it is my instinct to hide and protect myself... but it is not out of cowardice but guarding.  I happen to share the same "flaw" if you call it flaw... I'm too open, too trusting... and been hurt sometimes... 
 but I chose not to "shield", don't let that make you bitter about what people can also offer...  So we have to face thing with no shield to protect from "harm" but not good from coming.  It's quite a quandary, quite a challenge... it takes courage. 
I'm honoured to call you a friend. 
You have a gentle heart and I love you!

I wake up with my head filled with words and hurt and loneliness and longing almost every night. And when I put my hands on the keys, nothing comes out. I know what these things feel like. I sometimes feel like I'm drowning in myself. Betrayal is foul. Especially when it comes from someone you trust, when it comes from someone you call friend, and when you already feel as if your life is hanging by a single thread. 

I am always your friend, first and foremost. You will never be alone because of that, and together, we can fight betrayal and sadness by combining the strength we have. You lift me up constantly, and I am here to hopefully do the same for you. Always.
