A Sista With Trust Issues…A Page Out Of The Diary Of Aiyana Ma’at

By Aiyana Ma’at

Came across this entry in my journal today. It made me smile. Ayize and I have come a long way. We still have issues. I have come a long way. And, I still have issues. But, I’m so proud of us and myself. Smiling right now as I type. A little clue as to why looking back at this journal entry brings me so much joy….I’ve had serious trust issues with men (and with people in general) a lot of my life. I used to be the person who let NO ONE in. My guard use to be up all the time even after we were married. I just didn’t realize it. You don’t realize how you instinctively still try to protect yourself from imagined hurt or pain until you truly let go and give your heart to someone. Hope this brings a smile to you today… It sure did bring deep gratitude to my heart. I’m growing and I can SEE myself as I unfold! Awesome…

Today my hubby & I went to get something to eat and ate in the park and I really enjoyed it. I love him so much. I love just being next to him. I love how he looks. He comforts my heart. He makes me feel safe. He makes me feel good. He’s like a limb. Ha! Ha! Ayize is like a limb! 🙂 He’s so essential to my being. While I accept that and I love that there is also a part of me that doesn’t like that. I shouldn’t be so dependent on someone else. My heart is his and it seems too much. Yet, I love it and I want it. God I love him! He’s so good to me. How did I get so lucky? Why does he love me so much? Sometimes, I feel like he’s too good for me. But, that’s probably my self-esteem issues rising. I hope I make him feel half as good as he makes me feel…

To my sisters out there who find themselves in “feeling” this, just know trust takes time but it’s the most beautiful feeling ever when you finally have it! Take a risk, baby steps, and free yourself to fully love and be loved. In 2012, make TRUE TRUST your resolution.
