WE Becomes US
We Must ‘Put’ Trust
“The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.”
-Ernest Hemingway

It’s a thing not to have, not to give, and it cannot be gained or lost. Trust. Trust is something that must be ‘put’ into the relationship between or among any 2 or more intelligent beings. Also, this ‘putting’ of trust is something that must reoccur throughout each interaction or situation. Trust is best put so it mutually resides comfortably where it was placed in between US. Without this Trust there can be no US only mutual distrust. We do not need the opposing ‘them’ to become US.
Without ‘Them’ They Are Us
As humans we have all felt the sting of putting Trust in that place only to be hurt, and we have learned how traumatic the results of this have become at times. We have also experienced the pure humanity, humility, and glee that comes from putting our Trust right where it belongs.
Trust fills the vulnerable space in between US.
Falling in Joy
I am blessed to have personally taken this leap with another being this week… the other being an otherwise stranger to myself before our moment. So this week Trust begged to be ‘put’ among US today as my unfortunate TikTok user account fiasco with a very nice and very very more popular than I in the TikTok-iverse young lady somewhere else on (probably) Planet Earth.
To reach in itself is to ‘put’ Trust in some thing to be reached.
Trust We Must?
Now at this point the two of US had digressed (progressed?) from an initial place of figuring out what is what. I accidentally entered her user account and responded to an interaction I thought at the time was intended for me… responded as her. Upon realizing I was not nearly as popular as my feed suddenly implied, and that I was also not the 15 or so year old young lady that my posts now implied I immediately backed out and tried to reach out to her to explain and rectify any potential damage that had been done. In the meantime I had to defend myself from the short roast she initially brought as she communicated her thoughts that I may be a hacker and that her cyber-existence may be in jeopardy. I felt her pain because in this very same week I watched as my own 15 year old daughter had her Instagram account overtaken and replaced with the life of some other… another stranger. We reached out trying to mitigate the situation and recover my daughters memories and connections, but to no avail.
Trust must rest where it was ‘put’.
Trust We ‘Ought’.
I concealed the over-taker’s user account information here because I cannot assume that this other individual acted maliciously, with intent, or that they are even aware of what took place as I cannot take their perspective, and thus we must Trust that the universe itself is worthy enough for me to ‘put’ my Trust. In all reality we mustn’t, but to be together one US must.
After our virtual 3-5 day hit or miss back and forth wrangling with precisely where Trust was ‘put’ in between the two of us we have become to each other realize we had always both had it resting in the same place all along. We each ‘put’ Trust where it mutually and unconditionally belongs… the vulnerable space that exists between any 2 of us, and ultimately exists among US all.
To truly be In Joy requires Trust within US.
Thank you graciously to that beautiful TikTok soul. You know who you are.. may your light forever glow! She ‘put’ Trust in between US via a verification code in control of the fate of her cyber-being, and I ‘put’ Trust via the other 9 digits involved that allows me to access that platform which is most quintessentially Generation Z’s.
Neither her nor I acted in a way that would be morally ‘wrong’ towards the other. Actually, we didn’t even act in the ambiguous moral arena of ‘not wrong-or-right’ with each other. I believe this would be by our own mutual agreement on these facts of our reality.
It is in this way that WE Becomes US.
