"Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations."

Every so often, I let my brain get the better of me. An instance sparks a thought, which leads to a speculation, which turns into an assumption, that ultimately ends up being bad news. I want more than anything to believe that some good, no matter how miniature it may be, lies within the depths of every human being. I want to believe that when push comes to shove, I know who I can count on to lift me up when I fall. 

There was a time when I knew, or rather, thought that I did. Oh, to be young and naive. But that has since been tainted with the transgressions of tomorrow. 

People, although dissimilar in stature, are all influenced by an identical nature; A nature that embodies selfish needs and superficial wants. 

I respect and trust you more than the majority of  people currently in my life. You make me feel safe. There's nothing that I wouldnt do to protect that. I dont mean to doubt you or your sincerity, but my instincts scare me. People scare me. 

Prove me wrong.
