I promise to never tell someone the ending of a book or a movie unless they really ask for it. I don’t want to spoil the future by telling them what will happen, for most of the fun lies in the journey to getting there.
I promise to never take my past experiences and place them as a burden on the future. I vow to make my decisions instead of letting bad experiences dictate my thoughts and feelings.
I promise to continue to swim even when it feels like I am drowning. But I also promise to never swim towards the sharks or people that fool me into thinking they are lighthouses.
I promise to be good to people even when they are not good to me. I will give them a smile even if they are murdering me with their eyes. And I will be compassionate, loving, kind, and genuine to the rest of the world even when it is only raining on me. I will still love the sky when it storms.
I promise to stop trying to control everything. Life is uncontrollable and that is a blessing. Soon, it will all fall into place, even if we have no idea how. I will end up somewhere beautiful. And through it all, I will enjoy myself through the moments that make me cry and the moments that make me laugh. It will all be worth remembering one day.
I promise to never give up on the beauty in life and the sincerity in people. Most importantly, I promise to never give up on myself. I acknowledge my worth and know my value, and therefore, I promise to let myself be happy.
