Let's talk about trust

I had broken his trust and he didn’t know yet. I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t eat and I couldn’t go to work. I curled up in a ball. I was about to lose everything. It wasn’t until that moment I knew that I truly loved him. That I had found love, the love I had craved. Maybe it didn’t start out right. Maybe it was a young and impulsive kind of love…. But we had the best conversations, laughed together, like each other and loved each other. Now, I had destroyed all of it. It was my own fault and I deserved to lose him.

Who's responsible?

After I became a Christian I felt I could be vulnerable because God loved me just as I was. But when I told my story to someone close to me and they replied they weren't like me, they didn’t have a rock-bottom story. So...that statement validated what I believed to be true, sad feelings aren’t normal. I wasn't normal. I needed to hide that side of me. I remember feeling embarrassed by being vulnerable and talking about the pain I was feeling. Now finding Jesus gave me a beautiful new beginning but I still hadn’t learned to share my pain with Him. (That didn't come until 20 years later) I didn’t want God to judge me. Going to church, I learned to hide even more. Not because of church but because of the shame I associated with any feelings I had that were less than joyful. I didn’t trust myself; I didn’t trust others and I didn’t trust God.

I would go to church with a mask, I wore it to fit in, to be what I thought church needed me to be and I pretended. I never did learn to let church people see the real me. Long story short, loss of trust is a big one for me.

I'M FINE

I learned to suppress my feelings about everything. I learned not to trust myself or how I felt about most things. I learned to take my direction from someone other than myself. I learned that my feelings were not valid and were best kept hidden. I learned there was something wrong with me. By the way not one of those statements is true!!!! I learned to be a very good actor, to pretend to be FINE.
