Trust?

I walked down the hallway and saw people that I knew on the outside, but not on the inside.  How is it that I have known these same people for years and years, but never really knew who they really were.  How do I know if someone is going to back stab me or  says something that completely turns my whole world around.  Truth is I'm sometimes lucky I don't know everyone. Knowing someones secrets?  Those beloved secrets that people almost guard with their life is a lot of pressure. I can barely trust people in general, but the thought of meeting someone at such a young age and trusting them with a huge secret just seems like the hardest thing to do.  You can trust shoes to help you not feel the ground as you walk.  You can trust a statement necklace to tie an outfit together.  Although for some odd reason we can't trust the human standing right next to us as we walk through this journey called life.
