The building blocks of positive relationships are love and trust. Love is often associated in our minds with the actual meaning of the relationship while trust is quintessential in preserving every type of relationship. However, the way of expressing both these characteristics is unique to each individual. Love is described as an emotion which is offered and received and apart from the reference to the actual word, often other ways of expressing it are described.

Acceptance, giving, meant everything to me, I treated him like my own child, he was everything to me, a big hug

Whereas as far as trust is concerned:

I have a person I can trust, and a person who is sincere

I feel safe, I do not feel insecure and I feel that someone is by my side

I always have someone to rely on, a wall to lean against, trust and freedom
