There are times when I don't even know I've made a promise and of course I'd break those promises before I realize it was a promise. Life is full of so many uncertainties and making a promise and keeping it is something that only few can do. I've made promises to people and people have made promises to me.
The truth is, no matter how I try to run away from making promises, it seems like I actually ran into making them. People love promises because they see it as a way of knowing if they could actually trust a person or not. We just like assuring ourselves of the people around us and that would make us end up making promises that we can't keep.
As a person, I know how dangerous making promises and not keeping to it could be so I always try to avoid making them. But like I said, most people see making promises as a way to validate that they can trust someone so I've ended up making some promises that I couldn't keep.
I remember when. I first traveled to a State here in my country where I intend to school. I meant a family that I've always known thanks to my involvement in singing and that was how I went to their place for a meeting. After the meeting, I had to hang around to greet a few people and also the family as well. After much formalities, we were given food to eat and the food was nice.
The fact that everyone enjoyed the meal, I was immediately asked by the couple what I'd cook for them. I thought a little about the question and I knew it might not be possible but then I told them what I could prepare and they told me I owe them a meal. All I have to do was go to the house and prepare the food, nothing else. But surprisingly, that was so hard for me to do.
All through the time I stayed at that State, I never kept my promise of preparing that food. The couples never forgot it but then we still communicate very well. I've been to their place for other things like making their children's hair and also helping out with some other things. I'm not happy that I couldn't keep my promise but then I didn't really wanted to make such promises in the first place.
I was kinda forced to make that promise and I think that was one reason I couldn't keep my promise and I think those couples knew that and that's why they didn't really care too much. Joined to the fact that they knew I was in that State for a reason and that is way more important than me cooking for them.
But I really wished I had kept that promise but sadly I did not. I'm just fortunate that they understood me and didn't take any offense in what I did. I do believe that a promise is a promise and I'd still try my best to keep thepromise I've made to them as long as I have life. But then I'd keep making effort to avoid making promises.
That's all for now, until next time, stay AWESOME and JIGGY!!!
