Because they chain you.
Especially those you give to yourself, and then brake.
Or those you don’t even remember, but keep.
And when you break a promise you gave to someone else and break it. Will you ever forgive yourself? Or do you haunt, punish and accuse yourself for the rest of time?
I’m searching for those I buried so far down within myself I made sure I would forget them so I could keep them and “protect” myself by default.
So by default I’m now hurting myself instead.
I’m breaking the chains.
Blowing the locks.
No more promises.
I won’t promise that!
