So I'm going to be trying something with my journals for a while, and that is to discuss a topic that is personally important to me and that, hopefully, some of you might learn something from it or gain new insight. Sometimes I may just be stating the obvious, common sense, but I don't care; I want to try and contribute something with my rants for the most part. I mean, if I'm going to be doing journals every couple of days, they should be worth looking at, right? So we'll see how it goes.

Trust is a hard thing to come by these days. It takes a lot of time and effort to build, whether it be through friendships, business, therapy, whatever. It's hard to make anything work out if you don't have or can't trust people. I had it once, I did some stupid shit, I didn't have enough appreciation for it, and I lost it. Now I'm trying to earn it back.

If you have it, respect it. Don't squander it or do anything that might put someones trust in you in jeopardy. If you lose it, it can be very difficult, if not impossible, to get back. Once you lose it, you lose a certain amount of credibility as a person, and being able to trust you again will be a lot more difficult to do. It's why I'm having such a difficult struggle rebuilding my bridges.

So yeah, don't risk it, especially if it's over something really petty and childish. I guarantee you'll end up regretting it and kicking yourself for it. I did.

That's my word of the wise for today. Hope you enjoyed this short rant.

Edit: Oh, and I'd also like to extend a nice "fuck you" to Steam for having such shitty terms of service. Griefing is fine, but suggestive names are not? Fuck you.
