Trust is very valuable component to have in your life, it helps others know how you are feeling about a certain event in your life if you can just trust to tell them that. I have now been able to become friends with more people as a result of her showing me that it is ok to trust in others. Which has also made my life a whole lot more enjoyable than it was before.
