Trust Grows Quietly
Trust rarely arrives as certainty.
It doesn’t announce itself.
It doesn’t feel like confidence.
It doesn’t come with proof.
More often, trust grows in places that are almost unnoticeable.
In the moment you stay when you once would have left.
In the breath that comes a little easier.
In the choice to listen without bracing.
Trust grows quietly.
Many people believe trust should feel like safety all at once—a clear signal that the body has decided everything is okay

Tone out loud
Tone very softly
Tone internally without sound
Or simply listen and rest
There is no right way to do this.
