It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul; if you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.

I have the problem of trusting everyone to the extent that I trust myself... most of my experiences have come back to bite me in the bum in such huge ways that I have felt like I've died one million deaths. I am often let down
That being said, I don't really stop trusting people... I pick myself up after plenty of soul searching - I realise it was pretty dumb of me to expect they would treat me like I treat them - and I put myself right back where I started from. I'll trust again, again, and again. Why? Nothing ventured nothing gained!
I have found that the 'faithless' are far more trustworthy as you will always know where they are at
