A Promise is a Promise
So I couldn’t think of a theme till last minute. It was on my mind all weekend of what the heck I would write for you to read about.
I had mentioned it last time about promises, and how I was recently let down. Well I was let down again. It has been 4 times now, and I’m past the point of being pissed off.
I don’t want to talk about the promise. I will tell you that this person wanted to get me something that I could easily get on my own, but I was being nice and gave them the satisfaction of getting me the item. They made plans 3 times to come give it to me and it seems like each time there was an excuse.
Now its just become fustrating and knowing how this person is, I don’t think I will get it for a year. I regret not getting it myself. I think I will be regreting it for a really long time.
Its not that they did ran into troubles trying to give it to me it is the principle. Don’t make a promise if you can’t keep it! Online world and offline world. It just ends up hurting the person on the other side.
I feel as I get older that people tend to assume I won’t care if you break the promise. Scratch that its more like people have always thought that of me. I think it is because I used to not really care, but you can only take it so much, and then it begins to sting.
I feel that when you break the promise once, its okay I understand your excuse is legit, the second time is like ‘okay, I’m a bit annoyed but I can forgive you’. By the third time its almost like ‘I’m not worth it, you honestly don’t care, why the heck did you make the promise’. it always seems it ends as though I’m not worth keeping the promise.
I just as a person believe that you should keep the promises you make or not make them at all.
So this leads me to ask, do you ever think about the person you let down when you break a promise? (Just something for you to think about. No need to answer it. )
