“Trust is like a mirror, you can fix it if it’s broken, but you can still see the crack in that mother fucker’s reflection.

I've written quite a bit about why we invest in people first and everything else later. It's because we need to be comfortable with people and build a layer of trust before we decide to work with them or support them. More importantly, it is so that we don't waste our most valuable asset - time.
Over the past few weeks, as we've moved into looking at two particular scenarios in depth - one personal/professional and the other one purely professional, I've been taken back.
I don't think I've been this angry in a while. Seriously, untrustworthy people, go fuck yourself. You don't deserve anything. #Betrayal

And the truth of the matter is - that once you think you trust a person - and then you find out that they're living a secret life, it sucks. It sucks that people have the audacity to lie to you - when all you've done is support them unconditionally. But it also becomes really easy to back away.
“You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
And so it goes. Another day. Another story.
