Trust. Makes me sick to my stomach thinking the word. I trust too much. What makes me more pissed off is that my friends can always trust me (OTB, ITB, Pinky Swear) and I stay true to that trust. But, I still put too much good faith in others...I'm always one to give someone the benefit of the doubt, though.
Respect. That hardly exists today. Don't be as worried about "please" and "thank you"; be more concerned about your actions...because actions truly do speak louder than words.
Appreciation. That's kinda non-existant as well because how can you appreciate someone you take for granted?
Integrity. What's that you may ask? Something you may need to invest in, if you haven't already.
Friendship. This is something I hold dear to my heart. Trust is tightly knit with friendship. The basis of every relationship is friendship, the basis of every friendship is trust. I don't call just anyone a friend. If I want to spend time with you, alone or in groups, it's because I see something special in you and I want to get to know you better. It means I care about you...how much did you care about me?
Truth. I only lie if I absolutely have to and it is usually to protect myself. I have nothing to hide but I do have walls that tower higher than most people. If trust and friendship is there, you will see that this wall is gradually lowered. Have you noticed that I have disclosed information to you which I consider confidential? Think about it.
Loyalty. I have been told this many times...I am too loyal. Many times that loyalty has been used against me and I've been bitten in the ass by it. As much as I am aware of this, I remain loyal to all my friends.
I didn't think it would happen again...and of course, I should have listened to my intuition...and once again, I didn't. I thought this one would have been different and I put good faith into a whole bundle of crap. Not cool at all.
