🌱 The Promise: Are you attached to Potential?

The promise says: Not yet.
The promise says: One day.
The promise says: When they mature.
The promise says: When the kids are older.
The promise says: When they realize.
The promise says: When they step up.

The promise then becomes the bridge between today’s reality and tomorrow’s fantasy.
And if you are honest?
Have you been in love with the person or have you been in a long-term relationship with the promise?

Because the promise may explain everything. The promise may justify everything. The promise could make the cost make sense.

Why stay? The promise.
Why carry? The promise.
Why wait? The promise.
Why sacrifice? The promise.
