If

If we aren’t getting the answers we want and expect, maybe we should check our promises. For those who matter in our lives, one day we will make choices based on our promises and answers. Will we leave them in search of others, or realize we need to make promises that can stand the test of time. These will produce answers that strengthen bonds, instead of creating distance. Promises no longer made to just placate, or express what another wants to hear, but based on core beliefs and heartfelt emotions. Revealing uncensored our inner selves, at last freed to be known. When promises ring true, answers will follow suit, be expected, wanted, and embraced, providing the solace of common ground, making different choices possible, between those that continue to matter.
