8 Things I Trust In

Because I’m human, some of these beliefs are contradictory.

1. I trust that things happen for a reason.

This is so easy to believe when things are going right. But I’ve realised it’s more important to trust things happen for a reason when life isn’t going to plan. And to believe it will all be okay in the end.

2. I trust that I know what my body needs.

Fruit? Veggies? A greasy Chinese takeaway? Detox tea? Sex? A fun night out? Submitting to my temptations has got me into trouble once or twice, but my body felt better after.

3. I trust that I know what my mind needs.

Quiet time, house music, productivity, distraction.

4. I trust that if it’s meant to be, it will be.

This is very similar to trusting that things happen for a reason but especially important when applying for jobs and trying to play it cool with a love interest.

5. I trust that you make your own luck.

Sitting on your bum waiting for good things to happen is not desirable. Get up and make stuff happen.

6. I trust that love can withstand anything.

Be it distance, other people’s opinions or sickness.

7. I trust that the loneliness has served to make me a stronger person.

This has been one of the hardest truths I’ve had to believe in. At times, loneliness has felt agonising, but it’s also meant that I can enjoy my own company and take myself to lunch and comedy shows. I’ve also had some life-changing experiences and read a wonderful amount of books.

8. I trust that people come and go in my life for a reason.

Likewise, I come and go in other people’s lives for a reason.
