Freaky Friday #144

Today is Friday and that means it’s Freaky Friday. If you need to know more about this journal writing challenge please read the First Freaky Friday entry.

As I mentioned yesterday there has been a lot of gossip around my life lately. Some of the things said tried to make bring into question the reputation of certain men I have trusted in the last 20 odd years. While I understand each of us are not infallible, I also am leaning heavily on my trust of these men right now, rather than listen to gossip. But what if I am wrong to trust them? Today I investigated this idea in a journal writing session.

What about you? Who have you trusted implicitly over the years? What if someone came with gossip or hearsay about this person? What would your first reaction be? What if the gossip proved true? Would certain aspects of your life change for better or for worse? Would this bring a complete change of lifestyle for you? Would you have to stop speaking to this person? Would the revelation bring you closer to this person? Would you have to rely more or less on your own good judgement?

Spend some time working through these issues in your journal. Concentrate on how something like this would make you view your own life, seeing what you trust in from a different perspective. Just to let you know the people I have mentioned are not accused of any crime. I’m speaking about issues of trust, not criminal activity. I hope that’s clear. I hope you enjoy this journal writing challenge. Please leave any comments in the section below.
