Trust is like a two sided cracker with very different flavors. The one side is sweet and allows you to feel pleasant about it. The other side is bitter and hard to chew or swallow. It reeks of betrayal. What happens when as you are happily eating your cracker you begin to suddenly taste a hint of the bitter. You want the sweet deliciousness but now suspicion and doubt are wrapping around your tongue. And then the taste begins to spread. And suddenly it's down your throat and on it's way to sitting heavily in the pit of your stomach. And a quiet voice screams against the din of doubt that the cracker is still sweet. But who to believe the maddening sense of betrayal that has overwhelmed your senses, or the echo of the sweet. The memory of what once was.
Well for me I choose the sweet. I know what it's like to suddenly be labeled the bitter cracker when it was never me who changed but the other person. So until I see the bitter being added.. I will happily eat my sweet cracker. Because I'd hope someone would do the same for me.
