Saying you love someone while admitting you don’t trust them doesn’t make sense. Trust isn’t just a component of love; it’s the entire framework that holds love together. It’s the foundation, the walls, the roof—the very structure on which love stands.

Without trust, love is like building a house on quicksand—it will inevitably collapse. It’s like trying to drive a car with no fuel; it won’t take you anywhere meaningful. Trust transforms love from a spark of attraction into a lasting, unbreakable bond. When trust is woven into love, that love flourishes and grows resilient.

If you claim to love but don’t trust, that love is misguided. Without trust, you’ll question every action, every word, constantly doubting their intentions. That kind of mental and emotional weight isn’t sustainable; it slowly eats away at your spirit, turning love into a source of stress and suspicion. Eventually, without a foundation, the relationship crumbles under the pressure.

Imagine the fear of skydiving without a parachute. Now imagine loving someone you can’t trust—it’s even scarier. Trust is what allows you to be vulnerable, to open your heart fully, to love without holding back. Without it, love is just a risky game with your heart on the line.

Sure, love might spark the flame, but it’s trust that keeps it burning bright. In a world where loyalty and honesty are rare, trust is invaluable. If you can’t rely on your partner to stand by you in both good and tough times, then love will always feel fragile, constantly battling against shadows of doubt.

True love is a two-way street, and trust is the silent promise that you’re in it together, no matter what. Without that promise, love is just an empty shell.

So, is trust the foundation of love? Absolutely. Can love survive without it? Only for a while, but it’s a ticking time bomb. If you’re serious about loving someone, make trust your top priority. With trust, love becomes unbreakable. And in a world that’s often chaotic and uncertain, a love built on trust is the ultimate strength.

Toxic people will not be changed by the alchemy of your kindness. Yes, be kind, but move on swiftly and let life be their educator.

when life gets hard it doesn’t seem so bad because I have you. That’s the cool thing about love - the power it has as the highest vibration above all else

Repeat after me:

I will not measure my worth based on whether I have a job, completed school, have a degree, or work. I am worthy with or without these things.
