-Full Version:
You know...maybe it's just me...maybe I'm just weird like this...but, if I make a promise to someone, I intend to stick by it. I don't tell people I'm going to do something and then just flake out at the last minute. I'm there to make it reality.
Where does this rant come from?
It comes from a lot of places right now. It comes from several people telling me how very much they cared about me and that they'd be there to help me...and then bailing on me when the time comes to actually do it. It comes from me being sick of broken promises in general.
Doesn't anyone's word mean a damn thing anymore? Do people just not have the ability to back their words up with real honest-to-goodness action?
Can't we just be honest with the people we claim to care for? Can't we be honest with ourselves regarding the lengths we're willing to go to for them? Can't we all just quit playing the damn games? I'm not a kid anymore and these games stopped being fun a long motherfucking time ago.
-Condensed Version [for you-know-who]:
This is why I tell you that you're my favorite, sir. You've never made a promise to me that you didn't keep. You don't put up with bullshit. You don't have much left to give and you're honest about that. You don't play the games. You are, simply and without apology, YOU.
Looking back on all of the men I've known in my life [friends and lovers both], you are the only one who has ever been honest like that.
No wonder I'm so terribly fond of you.
Have a kitty.
