The One Promise I Will Never Break

"I will always be there for you, no matter what."

The One Promise I Will Never Break

Everyone makes promises, whether or not we always keep them can be debatable. Personally there is one promise that I will never break; and that is the promise that I will always be there for someone, no matter what.

People make promises all the time, promises to be best friends forever, to keep each other's secrets, to never ever hurt someone, that they'll be neighbors when they're older and their kids will be best friends. But sometimes promises are broken for various reasons; sometimes to protect yourself, sometimes to protect the person that you care about, there are even times when secrets slip out, and sadly a common reason promises get broken simply because circumstances change as life goes on and we continue to grow up, as this happens we learn that growing up sometimes means growing apart. However, even with the many circumstances that life throws at me there is one promise I have made to the people i care and have cared about that I don't think I could ever break and that is the promise that I have made that I will always be there for them. I feel like if you truly care or cared about someone, it's hard to walk away from helping them when they ask.

Being there for someone is usually not a hard thing to do and there are often times there are not strings attached to their request for you to just be there for them. Sometimes old situations can resurface and bring back memories that are difficult to deal with and the initial reaction could be to want to talk to the people who were the most important to you during that time. I believe that the reason this reaction is so common is because it can be hard to open up to up to people especially when there is already someone who knows the situation. It often takes a great amount of courage to turn to someone who is no longer a significant part of your life, especially if things ended badly between the two of you. SO rather than rejecting them for what may have happened that may have hurt one or both of you. The person reaching out to you is not necessarily asking you to be their friend again or to be one of the most important people in their life again, they're simply asking for you to just listen and maybe offer some advice like you had once before.

While friendship can be a tricky thing and sometimes can end in heartbreak; your old friends are people you once cared deeply about. So when an old friend asks you to be there for them, for me, I can't break the promise I once made to always be there for them.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
