Do not just place your trust in someone, believe in it too. If you trust someone, you trust someone. End of story.

As a postscript, if your conviction is wrong, as and when it is, it would be in the future. So no point worrying about how you are going to deal with it now. Until that time comes, or until eternity if it doesn't, do not question anyone, including yourself.

Everyone has reasons for what they do. Trusting someone means accepting those reasons, even if we may not understand them fully, or infact not know them at all. Personally, therefore, chucking the ifs, buts and althoughs out of the window has given me, and will continue to give me a unique bliss popularly known as peace of mind.

The view from Singapore, besides the sensation (read heat) is as follows:

Glasgow seems to have this air of permanence relative to all other places I have stayed in or travelled to. It is my final destination where my heart has sunk amidst its people. Can there be a distinction between people and places? The line is blurred and the combination heady. My mind may reel and wander, sometimes dragging my physical self along, but my heart is rooted firmly in Glasgow. Not to discredit other people or places, but Glasgow, with its wild mix of lights, excessive joy, crowds, accents, rain, dust, confusion, smiling and loving folk has truly been the icing on the cake.
