Lessons Learned

On a recent trip home I was saying my goodbye's to my grandparents. As I was about to leave, my grandmother pulled me aside and said, "trust-a no one." I laughed it off and made my trip back to school not even giving it a second thought.

Now I'm starting to think my grandmother has some sort of supernatural abilities. I now find myself saying, "I can't trust anyone."

Apparently I am not allowed to confide in people I thought were my friends. Firstly, what I have said to a person somehow was divulged to people that have no business of knowing what was said. Secondly, everything that has come back to me have been complete lies. Basically, what I originally said was never passed on to said outside parties. They're all complete fabrications.

I went to a private all girls school and safely avoided all of the he said, she said drama. I come to college and am suddenly in the midst of high school drama. This is ridiculous.

People aren't always who they say they are, and, unfortunately I'm learning that the hard way. When someone breaks your trust it is a very scary situation. I'm not really sure how to deal with this one.

How are you supposed to really know that you can trust another person? Is it even possible to fully trust someone?

I've already lost enough sleep over this and it's time to move on. I'm on the market for new, loyal friends. Any takers?

Well, you kids try to stay out of the kind of trouble I'm in. Hopefully you have good friends to support you.

Till next time.
