Can I let my guard down?
“Okay you know how you built walls to protect yourself? How do you begin to trust someone enough to let them in?"
Trust is a slow, deliberate process. It begins with small acts—letting someone see a piece of you, then watching how they handle it. Do they hold it with care? Do they listen, validate, and respect your boundaries? Over time, these moments accumulate, creating a foundation of safety. But remember, trust also requires courage on your part—the willingness to risk being seen.
Start small, and let their actions guide you. The right person will honor your vulnerability.
