Promises broken or kept?

Hangout GupShup Cafe

I sometimes wonder what the child me would say if he saw me today. I remember making some promises to myself as I child when I saw adults doing certain things. Now I wonder how many of the promises I made to myself as I child I have kept. I wonder what the child me would think of me today. Can you guys relate?

I sometimes wonder what the child me would say if he saw me today
Would he acknowledge the man he has become
Or shrug away disgusted with all the promises undone
Would he embrace the adult vestige of himself as something familiar
Or would he turn away from the sight a man strange in appearance and in other ways a failure

Can hardly remember when and where this story really began
I think it starts with a young boy promising himself he wouldn’t become one of them

Then again I am me and He is he
And him and I can never meet

So what would the child u say to u if he/she saw u today?

well sounds like you got many issues going on there other than the fact that you are copying my SN.

Re: Promises broken or kept?

I remember promising myself I wouldn’t become over weight or cynical and remain young at heart always. It’s kind of weird to think, but now that you mention it, I too wonder what I would think of myself sort of like back to the future. I think I failed to keep most of the promises I made. Not to say I am old, but I am grown up and the child me probably wouldn’t approve of the person I am now.
