How many promises have you made? Can you remember each one? Are there any promises you’ve forgotten? How would you know?
When I fell in love with my girlfriend, I made a lot of promises. Which was sweet and everything, because they were from the bottom of my heart.
But then three years later, I would suddenly remember something. Didn’t I promise her I wouldn’t do that? Or, didn’t I promise her I’d be doing this, instead?
Truth is, I really didn’t know. I’d made too many promises.
Maybe I should have written them down–kept a journal of promises I’d made.
Then again, as we both grew older and continued to change, we decided some of the promises were downright crazy.
Just how much does a promise mean when you’ve made too many to remember?
