the ability to believe at face value - may have been taught to us as naivety - is in fact a gift
to see truth in others is a blessing and not a curse, nor something to be ashamed of
for the harm isn’t in the believer
🧚♀️
to be ‘naive’ is to trust and, see, to be able to trust in a world we have been taught not to - that is powerful
obviously speaking in terms of scamming and safety we need to be weary, but now where is that line?
if something you believe may put you at risk tangibly, say your safety or your livelihood, we have those instincts in place - and if we bet wrong, life and s**t happen at the same time
but this weariness isn’t something to carry it into your relationships with lovers, friends, family
to project all of the worlds manipulation onto others does them and you a disservice
this does mean trusting yourself to be truthful, honest and integral, non manipulative and gentle
if we haven’t been this way with ourselves this may be one of the significant blinders stopping us from trusting behaviour
if believing someone does not put you at risk,
believe them
trust them
respect them
do the same for yourself, and see how the lens on your glasses change, watch the world and the people in it transform in front of you
