For a while, I've been in a situation where I've found myself considering what promises actually mean, to me personally. I've come to the conclusion that they're not things that can't be broken, but when they are broken, you have to accept that they have been so. Maybe, just maybe, it's not that a promise has been broken, just that it was something that couldn't be fulfilled. Although that is a sad thought, it's helpful to put it into perspective, but what I want is something about promises and what they mean to you.
Rules:
1. Please spell things as correctly as you possibly can. (Spelling is something which is important to me.)
2. I don't want cutting or erotica to creep into this, unless absolutely necessary. (I wouldn't write it, and I don't like to read it.)
3. Try and make it an honest account of what promises mean to you. If you must do it through fictional characters, then go ahead, but express your views through them.

Promises to me arent really promises. They are more like a leap of faith! When you trust someone enough, you make them promise to keep something like a secret or something you want them to do for you. It's faith that is hidde• Commented on by judge.
