Keep the promises you make, or don’t make a promise you cannot keep.
In a relationship, this quote resonates the most when it comes to its framework. It’s difficult to trust someone unconditionally, as everybody is often skeptical about giving themselves, or even a part of themselves away. Although when you become ready to hand over your heart to someone, you expect them to promise to take care of it.
Here are few promises you should make to yourself before you surrender to the magical master that is love whose promises you’ll be relying on.
1. I’ll be as loving to myself as I’d be to him/her.
2. I won’t compromise my values for anything or anyone.
3. I won’t let my voice drown in the cacophony of regularity.
4. I’ll give everyone a second chance withstanding the circumstances.
5. I won’t let my financial freedom be sabotaged just because I choose to be emotionally dependent on someone.
6. I won’t let go of things I’m passionate about.
