Blog 10- Love and trust

"Trust is like a paper, once it's crumpled it can't be perfect again." 

   I like this quote a lot because it can apply to a lot of other things. When i was in elementary school my teacher had us pass a piece of paper around and each person would crumple it. Each crumple represented a mean word or action. At the end when you try to reopen the paper it has all these folds and you can't smooth them back out into its original shape. Doing this activity was meant to teach us to be careful of what we would say because you can't take it back, and it would always stay in that persons heart. 
   In the quote it talks about trust. Trust is very important in any relationship, whether it is with your parents, friends, or significant other. Trust is something you have to build. the more you maintain that trust the higher it builds, but when something ruptures it, it falls apart and is hard to build back. If I trusted a friend with a secret and she told another friend, i would no longer trust her. Although I would have forgiven her I would still remember what she did and how I can no longer fully trust her. 
    This idea does not only apply to trust, but also love. Love is very fragile and you can't just give someone your heart. Nowadays people just throw their hearts to others, and to each person who gets the heart, the heart will crumple each time with each heart break. When you finally meet someone you want to fully give your heart to, you would give them a crumpled heart because you went through so many before you found the right one.
