No trust

If you can't trust someone close to you, who can you trust? I swear, my ability to trust anyone is very limited. People that I held very close to my heart and whom I had shared my most intimate secrets with, have betrayed me.
I wonder if I will ever give trust away again or as easily as I did before. At this point in time, I would say no. It is too hard to put your heart out there to only have it get stomped on. It doesn't feel good to get hurt emotionally. I know I am not the only person to feel like this. My heart tells me to be guarded, and my mind says that I need to let go and take a "leap of faith". I am so confused.

So, what do I do now? Only time will tell. I suppose I should use my mind, but my heart used to be so big and now it feels so tiny. Some days are bad (like today), but others I feel like I am trying.

Oh well... I have to get on with my life.
