i got to talk to someone a lot recently and, in the course of the conversations, we've somehow exchanged confidences, mine, albeit a rather trivial one, on the condition that it will not be shared with others. he made me a promise... i gave him my trust... he broke both. so easily, so quickly. i was surprised at how the threshold was just too low. the pressure was not at all remarkable and the gain, practically non-existent. what a letdown. not so much because of what what was spilled as to what was broken. it would have taken so much more and so much longer to make me back down, if at all.
if this were a movie, this development would just make the plot thicker and the ending sweeter. but this is real life, actions alter the course of events this way and that. unlike in the movies, the storyline is not predetermined.
one good thing though, unlike in the movies where the lead characters are confined to a select few, in real life, every single one of us is the lead character in the story of our lives. we all have a fair chance at having our respective happy endings therefore... : )
