Sometime ago i heard this saying, "a promise made is a debt unpaid."
Indeed indeed. I don't like promises.
I don't like to made promises nor promises made to me.
Promises breed expectations, and expectation can breed disappointment.
The only time i allow myself to make promises is when i know i deliver what i say.
If not, the best i could say is " I'll try my best".
A promise forgotten is worse than a promise known to be broken, and in turn worse than not having a promise at all.
Today i make a promise to myself, probably the first one since a few years ago, that i will let go something that bother me so long till it doesn't seem right.
I will let go of these that i couldn't, all along. Anything else that happens after this day, will be a new thing, not adding to the old past that i once held dearly to.
I'm not erasing anything off my past, i'm just letting the past go off my heart and conscious mind.
Just hope that my Lord will help me with it and fight along with me.
I will no longer be hurt by these, i hope.
My efforts to these is the promise i make to myself.
