Talk about a promise you kept that you wish you hadn't.
After I caught Ava cheating on me, I promised myself that I wouldn't ever be caught in the same situation. I promised that I would stay guarded. That I wouldn't ever trust people entirely because when I did trust someone entirely, she took advantage of it and broke me in half. I promised to never let it happen again. In the process, I've not only kept bad things out, but good things, too. They don't make filters for just the grime and the crap -- you either keep it all out or nothing at all.
Talk about a promise you didn't keep that you wish you had.
Before my father died, even though it was unexpected, I had promised that I'd become a teacher. He never told me that he was proud, that I was doing a good job. But the last time I saw him before he passed away, he said, "Your students are going to be very lucky someday." One of the only encouraging things my father ever told me .. So I promised him that I'd teach. That I'd give him a son to be proud of. It took a year of teaching to realize that .. despite all of my best efforts, and despite wanting to do well, and despite all of the classes and the certificates, I just wasn't cut out for the job.
