Promise?
So many times, people tell you that they promise that they won't hurt you or promise that they'll do something and they promise that they'll always be there, but do they really mean it? This topic has been on my heart for so long and I just never got the chance to rant about it, so here we go. I'm the type of person to always tell people that when I promise something I mean it from the bottom of my heart but when it comes to the point where people say it to me its a whole different story. It stirs up a sort of fear in me that makes me feel like my wall is being torn down. Obviously I want to keep my guard up to prevent myself from getting hurt but once that word comes out it's a whole different story. There have been "friends" that have said to me "i'll always be there for you, i promise" but today, I don't even have their phone number in my contact list.. It seems like a small detail but it's huge. There are some people that make promises to me that I take to heart but even that is extremely hard for me. It's hard for me to allow myself to really trust someone to the point where I feel like they'll keep their promise. Anyone who's ever made a promise to me knows that usually I say "don't promise me that." because it's so important to me. But anyways, yeah. promises are big. Don't make a promise that you can't keep and if you do make a promise, make sure that you DO keep it because once a promise is broken that's so much trust thats lost. But that's a whole different blog for a whole other day soooo yeah. :)
