Are they just words to appease? Or do someone really make them for the intention of fulfilling them?

How long do promises take to come true? Or how long do they even last?

Or do they get forgotten overnight, because nobody mentions them anymore.

At the end of the day, who really remembers them?

Then comes the feeling of disappointment.

Do others even know? Or are you just wallowing yourself in pity?

Or maybe you're just making a fuss out of nothing.

I always thought I could be, or maybe am, different.

But this thought turned out to be so insignificant.

Perhaps,

I need to be stronger, need to be more independent, be less reliant.

Trust lesser, lower expectations, stand firm.

Don't take things / people for granted, and not allow people to take me for granted.

New Year Resolutions? Maybe.
