8 PROMISES I NEVER MADE

 At times, it seems as though we are bound by our words. Life is simple but too much promises that are left unfulfilled makes it seem hard. Today, I recall some of the promises that I never made. It is for the good of everyone to say only what one can do even while under pressure.

1. To die.

I did not promise to die for anything. Be it relationship, object or money. A lot of people take their lives simply because a relationship they were into failed. It shouldn’t be.

2. Book

I did not promise to be bookish but a lot of times, I find myself flipping through books. Maybe, it is because of my love for knowledge.

3.  Food

I did not promise to always be the one to cook my foods! Looking back now, I can say that I have spent much money on canned foods than on cooking my own foods. You know,  it is said that as one makes one’s bed, so shall one lie. Maybe, I am not supposed to make my own bed in terms of cooking because I might not be comfortable on it.

4. Sugar.

Of a truth, I never promised to fill my stomach with sugary substances but right now, it seems to be so!

5. Documents.

Some documents contain serious information whose contents I am not supposed to spill because they are confidential but due to the nature of my job, I am exposed to them. It’s not my fault, I did not promise to keep a secret forever.

6. Travelling.

I cannot really say if I am a traveler or not but I don’t stay one place for long yet I never promised to walk round the world.

7. Away

I never promised to walk away but people’s attitudes usually push me into doing so. I rather walk away than to stay and cause troubles! I can walk away from troubles, I can walk away from poverty and I can walk away from barrenness by just avoiding same.

8. imiano.

My name is imiano. I find it difficult to believe that some people think that I have changed. No, I haven’t. I am still the imiano and I did not promise to change that name.
