Good day, amazing people of Hive Blockchain. Welcome back to my blog. This is another day in the #inleomonthly prompt. A time when you were disappointed by someone you trust.
When it comes to trust, it takes time before someone can trust you. You can’t just wake up and trust someone with your secret; the person has to give you reasons to trust him or her. For someone like me, I find it hard to trust someone, but once I do, I will tell you everything about me, but when I am being betrayed, it hurts me too much. I have come to realise that disappointment is part of life; there will come a stage in our lives when someone whom we trusted so much will betray us. What really matters is how we handle the situation; we should never allow it to take the better part of us.
It is ever hard to build trust, but it can be destroyed with a blink of an eye. It is always painful when someone you trust so much disappoints you. It has to do with emotions; most times you don’t handle it the way the person will be depressed.
There are some people who we are comfortable talking to about both our white lies and dirty secrets we don’t share with families. I have this friend of mine. We have been friends since our secondary school. We have shared a lot of memories, love and support with each other. We are always there for each other, both in good times and bad times. I trust her with my life, and I will comfortably share things about me with her. Our relationship has to extend to our families. Most times I go to their family house, I will sleep over, and my parents will not be mad at me.
At a point I see her as my sister. One day I told one particular secret I had been keeping from the family: there is this contract I have been pushing for three months now. I sent my proposal to the company, and someone who is very close to the boss promised to help me get the contract. I confided in her about the contract; I showed her my proposal, and I shared my ideas with her. She was super happy when I showed her my proposal to the company; she prayed and encouraged me.
Weeks later, I received a call from the company telling me that they were sorry that they had picked someone else for the contract. I was so mad. I had to call the man who promised to help me with the contract. He told me that someone submitted a proposal and the person's price was low. I was so pained. I asked him to help me and find out who the person was. After two days he called and told me the name of the person; to my greatest surprise, it was my friend who I had confided in.
I couldn’t believe that someone I trust with my life could betray me like this. If I were told by a seer that she would betray me, I would not have believed it. I was so devastated and emotional; instead, I killed the trust I had for her. Our relationship shattered because she doesn’t deserve to be a friend. Most times when I am alone, I will always ask myself, What did I do to her that made her hurt me this much?'
All thanks to my family, who was able to help me come out from depression. I stopped being friends with her because I can’t have each backbiter as a friend. Till now, I am still hurt whenever I remember what my friend did to me.
I learnt my lesson in a very hard way: never to trust anyone with my secret, no matter what.
