For the people I love and care about to be able to see themselves through my eyes. I want them to be able to see exactly how amazing I think they are.

For a Lit wish, I’d like to know when people are being truthful.

What do you wish for? You get one bonus wish strictly Lit related - what is your Lit wish?

I wish I could slip into any live performance, past or present - just for a night. A play, a concert, a poetry reading. The world can carry on around me, unaware. Just let me blend in the crowd, watching something real unfold without having to be part of it. An invisible spectator to something alive.

I wish I could feel what I’ve always almost felt, what’s always been just out of reach. Maybe the genie will get it, because so far, no one else has.

I sort of wish I’d had someone like me back then. But if I’m wishing, I’d rather spend it on the next kid who needs someone to show up and stay. For every kid.

As for Lit… I wouldn’t change a thing. The chaos, the brilliance, the mess of it, it’s why I’m still here. Why I keep coming back. My wish is that it stays just fucked up enough to still feel like home.

Wait, those aren't my wishes.

On a more serious note

1. A time turner (Harry Potter style)
2. For people's exteriors to match their interiors (Shallow Hal style)
3. Sure an answer to climate change (Benevolent Litster style) 😬

Since I know the genie personally, I get two Lit wishes ;)
1. For the ignore function to work better and both ways
2. For better reaction emoji choices. This is truly my greatest Lit pet peeve.

I like this in theory but I can’t envision what better would really be like. I’d kind of like a block button where we could control who could see our content but then I try to imagine what the discussion threads or the LAY threads would be like.
2. For better reaction emoji choices. This is truly my greatest Lit pet peeve.
The emojis is super valid. There should be so many more options. It doesn’t seem like this is a huge lift but I don’t know how to program or run a site like this so I could be totally wrong.

Also-are you all done with your tests? Did you slay them all? In my mind you are a test slayer kind of like this dragon slayer.

Nope, two more big test, a paper, and an art project due next week! 😬 Send me all the good vibes (and extra armor!!) 💚 thank you for asking!

Trust

Do you think once trust is lost it can be won back? What would it take? Have you ever lost someone’s trust and gained it back? Have you ever decided to trust someone again after they lost your trust? Do you trust easily? What kind of things make you lose trust in someone?

(And because this is Lit - I don’t just mean “cheating”. Loss of trust can mean a LOT of things.)
 
Do you think once trust is lost it can be won back? What would it take?

Yes, but it should be significantly more difficult the 2nd time around. There are those who trust too much too often (fools), and those who've married their self-worth to something outside themselves to an extreme and to their own detriment (fanatics) where that may not be true, however.

Have you ever lost someone’s trust and gained it back? Have you ever decided to trust someone again after they lost your trust?

Yes, and yes, but neither were short & easy.

Do you trust easily? What kind of things make you lose trust in someone

Nope, I don't - I'm generally pessimistic about human nature. (That way when I'm wrong, either I'm incompetent at my pessimism, or pleasantly surprised!)

Losing trust for me generally involves saying one thing and doing another for whatever reason. And not lightweight stuff, altho' that's often an indicator of the person too, but important things.

(And because this is Lit - I don’t just mean “cheating”. Loss of trust can mean a LOT of things.)
I took it as the greater concept, not just cheating in a relationship.

Trust

Do you think once trust is lost it can be won back?
It depends on the level of lie and how much I trusted the person.
What would it take?
Genuine remorse.
Time and showing oneself to be trustworthy.
Have you ever lost someone’s trust and gained it back?
I can think of two times-when I was in HS, my friend and I stayed out till the wee hours and my mom didn’t know where we were. She called the police and was driving around looking for us. I had never done anything like that before so she was convinced we were hurt.
Early in our marriage we got behind on bills and I hid it from my husband. He found out and it, understandably, caused a rift in our relationship. He was most upset that I had hid it from him and he was blindsided.
Both of these incidents took time, remorse and changed behavior to earn back trust.
Have you ever decided to trust someone again after they lost your trust?
I have. It is not easy for me but I try to lead with grace(I am not always successful as some may have witnessed 😂 but I try)
Do you trust easily?
I do not trust easily at all. I have been let down or betrayed and it hurts too much so I keep walls way up. Well, they are up until they’re not then I trust completely. This has lead to the feeling of being let down or betrayed so it can be hard to find the right balance.
What kind of things make you lose trust in someone?
Lying by omission and lying when asked a direct question.
The other is kind of harder to explain but basically I think of it as support. If I don’t feel like you support me, even if we disagree, it undermines my trust.

(And because this is Lit - I don’t just mean “cheating”. Loss of trust can mean a LOT of things.)
before lit I would have said physically cheating would be my number one thing but now I know it is much more about the emotional connection or lack of connection that impacts my trust.
Edited to add-and yes, by being on Lit I am aware that I am a hypocrite.

I’m stealing her wishes, though for the third, I’d want that to be reciprocal so I can see myself through their eyes too.

I don’t give trust easily. It's something I build carefully based on consistency, authenticity, and genuine rapport.

I believe once trust is broken, it's very hard - and sometimes impossible - to fully rebuild it. For me, losing trust doesn't come from making a mistake or a bad decision; it goes deeper. It’s about whether they were truly looking out for my best interest. I lose trust when someone acts out of self-interest at my expense or when they show that protecting our relationship isn't a priority to them. Once that happens, it’s very difficult for me to see the relationship the same way again.

I've forgiven people who have hurt me, but I don't think I've ever truly trusted them again.

I think winning back trust takes more work, time, and humility than most people would be willing to give. It takes acknowledging an understanding of what you did and the affects it had, apologizing and taking responsibility and then working to fix the mess made or change so it doesn't happen again.

I have lost people's trust, of course, and for some there was a way to work to earn that back and for some they were never going to be able to forgive me so we moved on without bad feelings. I completely understand needing to protect your peace.

I don't trust easily and I haven't found any reason to be wrong. I can just be as trustworthy as possible.

My trust is lost less over a momentary mistake and more over a pattern of behavior or deception. Letting me believe something about you that's untrue, trying to use our friendship to phish for drama or information, underestimating me, and finding out truths from other people who are less close to me are very hard for me to get over. I'm overly forgiving but I don't know that I can ever fully restore trust.
