Remember those good old days when a promise meant something? Like a pinky swear or the classic “cross my heart, hope to die” guarantee? Fast forward to today, and promises have become as fragile as that extra slice of pizza you swore you wouldn’t eat but ended up devouring anyway.

In the age of “I’ll text you back” and “Let’s hang out soon,” promises are starting to feel more like suggestions than actual commitments. We’ve all been there – the excitement when someone makes a promise, followed by the slow realization that it’s as reliable as the weather forecast.

But hey, maybe it’s time to loosen up and take life a little less seriously. If promises don’t always stick, perhaps we should learn to adapt, lower expectations, and find humor in the chaos. After all, life’s too short to stress over broken promises, especially when chocolate and binge-worthy shows are waiting.

So, the next time someone breaks a promise, just smile, shrug, and say, “I expected nothing, and I’m still disappointed.” Then, treat yourself to a well-deserved self-care moment. Because you’re the only one who can promise to always have your back.
