Promises can be tricky things.
A promise kept can make someone's day, Build a bond that's set in stone or maybe even change someone's life.
A promise broken on the other hand, has the power to decimate one's soul.
Over the course of what is an infinitesimal time that I've spent on this blue dot in out solar system we all call home, I've learnt many lessons about making and keeping promises. Which is why I usually choose to not make any, for fear of being unable to keep them.
Recently though I've made a few promises. And I intend to, nay.. I WILL keep them. THAT is the answer to "How much?"
Although It may seem unconvincing at the time, I meant each one of those promises. And here, In front of the world I'd like to make them all again
I Promise, to respect you and your beliefs, without contest or judgement.
I Promise, to treat you then, like I do today, and only to be a better man with time.
I Promise, to carry the weight of the world, so that you don't always have to
I Promise, to walk right into the storm so you don't have to, not all by yourself
I Promise, to hold you when you need to be held.
I Promise, to love you when you need to be loved.
I Promise, to protect you, with my own life, if it comes to that.
but above all,
I Promise, to always, ALWAYS do right by you, even if it means training three monkeys and a puppy to rob a liquor store at 4am because we've run out of Rum.
