To trust someone is to believe that we can see past the mask, to be trusted is for someone else to believe that they have seen who we really are underneath all our Mask. Our defense barriers we keep to keep people out to protect ourselves for whatever reason. People all want the same thing really when it comes down to it, intimacy.
