there was once someone in my life who tried really hard to be close to me and i just couldn't really ever let it happen because of my trust issues. and one night we had this conversation where i said to him... "i want to learn to trust you, but i don’t know how.” and his response was... "then don’t. learn to trust you. then see what your heart has to say about me,⁣ and follow that.”⁣ ⁣ and i feel like it was one of the best pieces of guidance anyone has ever given me. not just about relationships, but anything in life. there is just nothing outside of myself that will ever feel right or make sense... until i trust myself. to ever really be sure of anything i need to be sure of me.⁣ ⁣ -------⁣ ⁣ (cowriting credits to my ex-boyfriend for the conversation ☺️🤍)⁣ ⁣ ______
