"Maybe, just maybe"are the favourite words of one of my dearest friends in the entire world. I asked him one day, "Why do you always say that?" His response was, "not everything in life I am sure of." As much as I liked his answer, I still think he does it for attention and dramatic effect. You see, he has a slight British accent (as much as he would argue against me saying this), and with this hint of foreigness as well as his soft way of dragging out his words, the statement "maybe, just maybe" becomes not only something that I look forward to hearing every day, but also a phrase that forces me to smile and sends a happy chill up my spine. This friend of mine taught me that trust is the most important thing one can have and that being able to trust others is of vital importance. There was a time where I could not trust anyone and would search for reasons as to why. Often times, people did not have the patience to wait for me to let them into my life and so would continue on in life without me.
DON'T WORRY!
This seemingly sad story has a happy ending. My friend was one of the people who left for a bit, but he's back now because guess what…I LEARNED TO TRUST!!
Three small words keep resonating through my mind and even if they are for dramatic effect, the meaning behind them are influential in my life. "Maybe, just maybe" things will go wrong but "maybe, just maybe" they won't.
It's funny how people can influence our lives in such grand ways by doing the smallest of gestures. This friend I speak of would not approve of me writing a blog post praising him because he was the one who helped me to realize and fully understand the overwhelming power of trust, and yet I do it because the world deserves to know that there are people out there who should be acknowledged for being awesome.
