Trust Was Torn

Being able to trust friends is a very strong thing you can do, but it can also be a mistake. This took place one day Junior year. Can’t remember the day for the life of me, but I told one of my really great friends something very personal that happened to me the previous night, thinking that I would be able to confide in what I called a best friend. Well, come to find out, not long after I finished speaking with them, someone else had found out what happened and they wanted to talk. All was over with, but that trust has been broken since.

But, there are just some things that you can tell friends, and the result of me telling a friend the issue that happened to me effected me roughly, and I won’t ever forget what happened that day. What they did hurt me greatly. I don’t think I’ll ever forget.

So, you can’t always trust the people that you think you can trust. This stands for me, and I have accepted the fact that I have made a mistake, and I most likely won’t make the same mistake again. We’re still friends, and we try to get together a lot. In and out of school, but our trust is like a piece of glass, and you will forever be able to see the cracks and scratches in the clarity. I’m almost positive that this person doesn’t remember, but I still feel sadness and wrath when I think about this event. It’s just hard to believe that all of this happened before lunch time..

But still, being able to trust your friends is a very strong thing to do. Yet, I still decide to be around this person. I know that it makes them happy, and I feel happy as well, but there are some times where I remember this heavily, and it’s hard to keep up with their actions. I try to grow, and I try to forgive, but not forget. It’s hard to move forward though. But, to me, they were genuinely a great person to be around. Amazing persona, a lovely sense of humor and love. Although this person was comfortable to be around, all that was changed quickly when they decided to break the trust that I had. Their actions towards it were blown out of proportion.

In conclusion, mistakes were made, and the lesson I learned from making this mistake is to always have a guard up, and no matter who it is, you can’t trust anyone. I was under a strong impression that I was able to trust this person with everything I had, but to be proven they weren’t the person I thought they were. They lied, broke a promise they swore to keep, and it hurt a little to realize that. Nothing has changed with that person, but I know that our trust is broken. They might not ever know. I feel as though they don’t deserve the heartache. But at the same time, they wronged and hurt me. But they won’t ever know that… and I won’t ever tell them.
