Betrayal and Trust
Betrayal is undoubtedly one of the most devastating low points that a person can ever experience. To be betrayed, the betrayer must have earned your trust. Apparently, it is fairly impossible to be betrayed without having trusted someone in the first place. Trust, the foundation upon which all forms of intimate relationships are built takes a great deal of time to build but just a few seconds to completely crush it. Throughout life, trust is earned once and once crumbled it can never come back in the same form. Nicole was one person I trusted my life with; she had won my heart and had accumulated my trust over time but she was just a friend. Our bond grew stronger over the secrets and emotions we shared.
The Backstabber
It had never shot my mind that a time like that could come, Nicole was my strength and weakness because she knew everything about me. Fear and panic flowed through my nerves before my brain could understand how severe my situation had become. Clearly I had no plans of walking into such condition; neither did I have any plans of walking out of it. Everybody in my neighborhood now knew my darkest secrets and Nicole had done it all, to add salt to an injury, I could do nothing because she was my weakness. My confidant turned out to be the backstabber, all my emotions and secrets were turned around and used against me, my weaknesses played until I was broken down and slowly I was torn into pieces.
The Lesson Learned
Indeed, when you entrust somebody with your secrets, you are relying on the person’s honor. Apparently, when the person forgets about you and betrays you, there is no point of going back. Although I often give her benefits of doubt, the person I once thought she was is gone, the only thing that is left is mere friendship but I have learnt to use my lost trust as a positive guiding tool.
