Trust provides a fundamental foundation for any relationship. However, the extent to which we trust covers a vast spectrum. At the most basic level, we even trust strangers. When we walk down the sidewalk or drive in our lane, we trust other individuals not to swerve and hit us. When you go out to eat,

I get slightly irked when I hear people saying “move on,” “let it go,” or some variation of these phrases. What most people fail to realize is that our experiences become part of our memories and ultimately part of us. You cannot amputate your memories. They follow you throughout your lifetime.
