I promised to love myself and myself only... Then I promised to under promise and over-deliver so I took that promise back. I decided I wouldn't hope for a new year to be better because I'd gotten further than I ever could have dreamed I had. Promises are strange things anyway... Words sent out into the universe hoping a star or a comet will latch on to them and take them somewhere. Maybe that's why there are so many stars in the sky. Another year is gone and I'm a little teary. I've promised things and been promised to and I can't remember even one of them. But lately... I've been looking at myself a little different. Loving who I'm becoming. So, I'm not promising. I'm just.... working... on enjoying where I go. Tomorrow could be different. I could take all these words back but it's now that matters and all I'm saying is... I'm not looking back.
