I'm so tired of always falling for the same cliche of "I'm really sorry. I promise I wont do it again" bullsh*t. Srsly. I really wonder why I keep believing in the same promises from the same people. I know I must be really dumb to fall every single time, but I guess I got some kind of hope that it actually will happen. That those promises will actually be kept and come true.
I know I'm not the only one that believes that promises are sacred and should never be broken, but I'm really starting to feel that way. I haven't met one person yet that has made me a promise and actually kept it besides my fiance. I feel like the meaning of promise has diminished slowly with the passing of time. Nowadays, people make promises and don't keep them. When they break that promise they say "Sorry" like if it could be automatically and completely fixed that way. Its just not the same anymore and I have been hurt many times by these "promises" specifically from the people that are the closest to me. Is it really that difficult? I mean, when I make a promise I make sure that I can always keep it and its to someone that I really care about even if its me. The promise has to also have some kind of meaning or be special to me somehow. Not like I'm going to promise something meaningless or stupid. I guess it just doesn't work like that for me. "A promise is an eternal vow that one will or will not do something." |

I think it is so hard for people to keep a promise is because it means that they have to stick with it.
Like, a diet.. sorta.. You have to keep to it for you to get the results that you want in the end.. but there will always be that cheese cake in the back of you mind poking at you saying.. " EAT ME! " Some people just fall and eat the cheese cake because they like it so much.. but after they eat it their like.. " Shit, I wish I didn't eat that. " In my mind you should always give that person a second chance because everyone deserves one.. BUT! No more then that. |
