On Trust

In a world that is filled with all sorts of information, especially when you cannot find out which of the things you heard is true and which are not, sometimes I just have to rely on my intuition.

While people have been saying that intuition is not scientific and not rational, I think most people are underestimating it.
True that it is not always correct, but I also see it as an accumulation of one's knowledge and experience which allows the person to make choices without the need to even think.

I don't like hearing different sides of the story from people, because the truth is always distorted.
When it comes to human relationships, it is even worse.
Perhaps certain things happened, but the people involved could have so different perception and interpretations of the event that when they re-tell me the story of what happened, it seems like they are telling me completely different things.

I no longer like to guess people's motives because I find it too exhausting and pointless-- my guess is merely my interpretation and could be nothing close from the truth.
And most of the time, what people do is none of my business and I don't like to judge.

The thing is, I have heard things about people I trust.
Sometimes I get mad or overreact to what I heard, but it is only because I have a high opinion on the particular person.
But after a while, I would hear my inner voice.
That gentle but firm, powerful voice that comes from within would quiet my doubts, distrust and insecurities, in just two simple but powerful words, 'trust him/her.'

And yes, I listen to my inner voice/ intuition/ my heart and I'm gonna do exactly what it tells me: to trust, wholeheartedly and completely.

The one thing that stops doubt and mistrust is simply to trust.
It is not that I have never been disappointed or mistrusted anyone, it is just that I still have the faith that as long as I keep trusting, I would be able to find the trustworthy ones.

Dear readers,
Stop guessing or hiding feelings and thoughts. Talk things out. Keep trusting.
Those who deserve your trust would stay. :)

Love,
