Trust
The song lyrics "It's 4:03 and I can't sleep, without you next to me..." keep running through my mind.
I began to think about this, and about the relationships I have in my own life. It is human nature to become dependent on one another. Not only is it innate for use to cling to other humans, but we begin to cling to products, to routine, to normalcy. What if we all became completely independent? Not mean to each other, just...not clingy? If we could do everything by ourselves and the choices that we made were not wavered by wether others will approve or if it will keep us close.
I'm not saying or implying that close relationships are bad, but I have noticed that I tend to become dependent on others. The choices that I make, including very important ones like where I go to college, what I do with my life all seem to revolve around others. Will I be too far away from home? If I go here, I might not stay in contact with my high school friends...etc.
Ultimately this comes down to a matter of trust. What does trust even mean? Dictionary.com says that Trust is confident expectation of something; hope.
You could be a very trusting person, but do you trust yourself? Trust that the decisions you make are the right ones, and that things will turn out the way they are supposed to.
Have hope. Have confidence. Have high expectations. Have trust.
