Learning to trust people again

This a long road to success to trust people.
You may feel this way because you ain't trustworthy yourself.
You may put the excuse that this is because you have been hurt in the past.
well, it was in the past, you are not a victim anymore.
Yet, I know the pain is still there.
Can you abandon it?
Can you transform it?
Give it a new meaning?
You may also know that with people come chaos and you ain't ready to deal with this.
You may not trust yourself in managing what is coming your way as you start interacting with people.
well, the future is unknown, you can only live in the present
yet, I feel your anxiety.
Can you let it go?
Can you shift it?
Can you make a plan to change?
A plan
this is it. be clear why you interact with people for. be clear on your intention. keep coming back to it when you get lost. Those who align to your inspirations are the people to trust

Is it the appropriate language to use? I contacted Airbnb to let them know about B. - they gave me a call and kind of told me that I need to be careful with the people I am bringing to my home. I told them, yes but there was no indication...

 "You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water"  Here are the beautiful words written by Rabindranath Tagore, painter, poet, composer, playwright, philosopher and social reformer. I read them in the preface written by Albert Chaitram Persaud, Founder CAREIF for the report "Improving the Mental Health of South Asian Populations in the United Kingdom" written by Gnanapragasam S.N. and Menon K.V. (2021) on behalf of CAREIF and Ethnic Inclusion Foundation. One of the key recommendations in the report is to ''provide a culturally competent workforce with appropriate cultural competency training so that care provided appreciates cultural (religious/spiritual/faith), historical and gendered influences of South Asians''. While further training is always welcomed, it should not stop organisations to jump right in engaging with communities from various ethnicities, cultures and backgrounds. As humans, we have the innate ability to cr...
