The Trust
by pastery
Being in full control is something I have done very well and successful in my life. Most of the time it is more about choosing the battles you take, distance yourself and take that extra walk around the block in your head. Yet it seems like some yet very few people just have the ability to touch you beyond your boundaries. It is realizing that the defense is gone. It is both comforting and somewhat frightening realizing it. Yet. “It is all about trust…” She is so right. It is all about trust.
Letting go of the protective guard is something that is really hard and usually stressful. It is about loosing that control and putting the trust in another person. It can be refreshing. It can be unique. It certainly can be rewarding and peaceful. I think I let that final guard down and met the eyes. The weird thing is that I am calm and genuinely peaceful. I probably shouldn’t be. Or maybe I should be.
Regardless. Weird. Strange. And yes. Very peaceful and comforting.
