what makes you trust someone?
so a friend of mine told me some really big news, like life changing news, and i'm the only person who knows so far. in a way, i feel like a lot of weight has been put on my shoulders, but in another way, i feel quite honored that they could confide in me and trust that i wouldn't go around telling everyone and their mom what they told me. i know the news is going to affect a lot of people that i care deeply about, but it's really not my place to go and be the first to tell them. that would obviously break the trust bond, and i so don't want to go there. all i can do right now is keep it to myself and be there for my friend when they do decide to share the news with others. at the end of our conversation, i thanked my friend for trusting and relying on me (i know i'd be able to do the same with them). it takes a lot for you to trust someone, but it takes just as much, or even more, to have someone put their trust in you.

You can tell me. I'm good at keeping secrets.
I kid, I kid. It's like that quote you had on your myspace, "I like knowing what I'm not supposed to know" or something like that.
You are an amazing person and I would trust you with my life. I know I can always count on you for a good laugh, that's for sure!
