Promises

Are promises worth more when you promise something to yourself, or to another person? Or vise versa? It seems everyone makes a promise or two to themselves or others, but then breaks them. Are they just disposable words to make people feel good? What's the point of promising anything, if in the end you know you'll just break it.

I made a few promises to myself, I broke them. Ha. Mostly because there was one I made to myself, then because of how things progressed with Alexander* I had to break it.  Just about long distance, that's all I'm saying.

When anyone promises me anything, sometimes I just know when they won't keep the promise. That they're just saying it to use me, hurt me, or just to shut me up. 

What's the point ? 

I wish people knew that when you keep a promise, it can be rewarding. No matter what, or how hard it gets. In the end, I think it's worth it. Except you know, if the promise is "I promise I'll give you the world." Can't happen!

I also don't know how I feel, or stand, on the topic of Promise Rings. I once had a a promise ring from an Ex. I'm unsure how I ever felt about it.  But I do know, if anyone was to give me another promise ring, I want to know right away what the promise is for. This makes no sense, but I rather like the idea of promise rings?

More to come, Frey*.
