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." |

It's true. Its not that hard 'cause I'm not perfect at all but to me promises are easy to keep because they actually mean something to me and I think before breaking one and I imagine the pain or dissapointment I may cause because of that broken promise.
I guess it may also depend on the kind of relationship a person might have with the other that makes the promise. And besides. I never really thought that promises were made to be broken. Promises aren't rules to regulate things or have them in order. Promises are more of an emotional bond. It has a deeper meaning than that of rules. So it shouldn't have that sense of "it was made to be broken". |
