Recently, more than ever I feel like I am being disappointed in people. I am a pretty trusting person, to the point of being gullible, but as of late I am feeling like I should be more careful.

In the past couple of months I have seen people around me be burned both personally and professionally and I myself continue being convinced that people I once put trust in did not deserve it.But it’s not just trust. I feel like people that I thought would support me and want nothing but the best for me never had my best interests in mind. I want to do something with my life but I am not naive enough to think that I can do it on my own. And yet when I look around for a helping hand I feel so alone.

Maybe it’s because things have been tough lately and people’s true colors show more in times of crisis or need. Maybe I’m more sensitive than usual. But I don’t feel like I can trust anyone anymore.

And yet I have to keep reminding myself that I am at the same time surrounded by kindness and goodness. Kevin, both sets of parents, my siblings, and the few friends I have. They are the ones that keep igniting my faith in people even when it seems like so many heartless people have tried so hard to put it out. So to you my support team I want to say thank you.

P.S. Thank you for allowing me this moment of weakness.
