Trust no one

I've already written my book; however, it is still early in the year. I had help with my book, but that person has apparently gone back on me. I believe, in other words, someone I was depending on has become preoccupied with other agendas. But that's OK, I don't have much faith or trust in people. I am speaking from personal experience: I've let a lot of people down during my life, as well as letting myself down.

I have a tattoo that says "trust no one" and a lot of people don't understand or relate to that philosophy. My ex-fiancee was one who rejected this outlook on the world. She has been abused by men, including me, but I admire her outlook on life. When all seemed lost, encountering set-back after set-back, she remained serene, focused and positive. She didn't turn to alcohol or drugs to escape her situation and I admire that about her. May God bless that woman and may God bring her a man who will truly love, honor, protect her and watch out for her self-interest above his own. We can learn from one another on this planet, if we slow down enough to simply observe one another.
