Be careful of the paw
“Forever”, “Always”… These words we use quite so often, for quite so many people. I’d be hypocrite if I said I haven’t done the same. I’m guilty of it too. Just as much.
“Forever”, “Always ” these words are a promise within themselves. A promise we make without even a flinch most probably, Without a second thought I bet. How cruel are we?! Do we not take promises so seriously? Do we not believe that someone somewhere might just believe it? That someone somewhere might just hold you to it, this promise you have made. For forever and always?
Maybe we just throw around words without knowing the intensity they hold, their meaningfulness, their depth… We make promises without knowing that there still exists some people who take words seriously, for what they stand. And we unknowingly hurt and let uncontrollably bleed. We humans do that I guess. We don’t always say what we mean, and we don’t always mean what we say. I guess It has been like this, since… forever and always.

True that. Don’t we plan thinking tomorrow is always there? I know at times we use such words in a very fickle manner, maybe it is derived from the hope that tomorrow will come and we will be strong enough to do good by our words. I would like to think so.
P.S. That’s a very cute paw!

That was very thoughtful Prajakta especially what you said about hoping that we will be strong enough to do good by our words and hoping that tomorrow will come.
But sometimes..most of the time, even if tomorrow comes, feelings change. That’s where the tragedy lies…

A thought provoking post . Many of us don’t think before using words like always and forever. In fact I doubt anyone could actually live up to such a promise because our very existence isn’t completely certain at a given time. I guess the solution then could be to make short term promises that we can keep. β‘β‘β‘

Great song! Words have the power to do so many things…
They can bring peace and they can make war…they can make you fall in love and they can make you want to break up… They can make you want to die, yet make you want to live forever. They are the most powerful things we all carry everyday. I know I’ve said things that I know I didn’t mean and I’ve seem the pain it caused. It’s something I would never want to make another person feel. However, I know I’m not perfect so I’m sure I will do it again. I love this post! You’ve written everything I’ve always felt. I just didn’t know how to put it into words. You’re so loved… And that is a promise I’m for sure about. Pinky promise. β€οΈ

“forever” or “always” can be true within the time frame it’s been said. as time moves from one frame to the next, it has the tendency to depreciate and lose its value.

Another great read, Zee. I agree with Erika. Sometimes we say certain words in the heat of the moment, in the moment when we can’t help but feel a certain way. Funny how emotions work. Promises are so easily made – maybe because we want something to hold onto. And yes, promises are so easily broken – maybe because we want to run an find something even better, or we are simply afraid.
Forever, always. I believe for some things in life there are forever and always. Maybe one day we will genuinely feel it π Lots of love to you, Zee. Keep writing β€

I agree with it too Mabel, we humans have a funny way to deal with things especially emotions and feelings; they are such an abstract concept that when we come across them, it’s so hard to comprehend everything about it. Sometimes we say things in the moment, we may regret it later but that doesn’t change the fact that those promises might have been genuine at that particular moment… *sigh*
I really really hope we all get to have that forever and always one day, everyone of us deserves it π

This is very true, Zee. Too often we just say something out of a strong emotion we feel in one moment. Perhaps we really mean it in that very moment. But those are strong words and the other person might really feel those words deep and believes them. It is heartbreaking to hear later “Sorry, things have changed.” If that “later” is years… OK. But sometimes this “later” is only days. I know what you mean!

That was very thoughtful Erika what you said about ‘Perhaps we really mean it in that very moment’, Maybe we do mean it….but what’s the point if that feeling is to change the next moment. It shouldn’t be this easy to say things like that and so very quickly. But I guess in this day and age where things pass by in a blur and life’s in a fast lane, feelings and emotions have also evolved in it’s own way. Maybe I’m just the odd one…but I’m okay with that. π
