The last time I heard this phrase was on the television news. Although I hadn't given the topic much thought, I sometimes couldn't believe the impact that phrase could have regarding trust. While I know that a good friend, when they give you their trust, rarely doesn't do so completely—and I say this from my own experience—due to several problems I've had with a lack of trust, I find it very difficult to trust someone I don't know and offer my friendship based on a first impression. Even though we are human beings with feelings and we make mistakes, I still feel it's very necessary to be patient and cultivate trust. Trust doesn't happen overnight; it grows, and you have to nurture it.

I have gradually come to trust my small circle of friends who have been there for me through both good and bad times. I have been friends with some of them for about seven to ten years, and we have gone through periods of indifference and disagreements on certain topics, but through it all we have learned to be there for each other. I have noticed that the trust between us has grown over time; it didn't happen overnight, but gradually. We may be apart, but the affection and trust remain the same every time we meet again.

I think that trust begins when a friend entrusts you with their friendship. They don't just leave you hanging with empty words; they keep their promises, helping you progress and grow. They earn your trust in the best way possible, acknowledging their mistakes and being willing to avoid repeating them. It's difficult to lose trust, and we can illustrate this with a glass that, even after falling and breaking, will never be the same, even if it looks like the same glass but with its pieces glued together in various places. When someone hurts you, trust is like that glass, joined together in both parts. Even though we remain the same, the trust is no longer the same. And even if we can forgive the person who hurt us, it won't be the same; we'll see them differently, and it will be difficult to rebuild that trust, although not impossible. It costs much more than losing it.

Without a doubt, I now refer to trust as a "little glass" that we must take great care of. If someone has shown us trust, we must continue to nurture it, even if it's difficult, because not everyone can trust you, and you can't trust everyone. We must remember that many people don't come with good intentions, and we have to be able to discern those who do. Those who stay will demonstrate their good intentions and prove that you can trust them. Tell me, do you find it difficult to trust?... Best regards.
