Trying

There was a kid in my kindergarten class who once said something along the lines of “My mom says only babies care about promises.” after promising to do something and not following through. Which is a really horrible thing to say and believe at that age, and I definitely remember the gist of the phrase more than whatever it was she was supposed to do and didn’t do! But at the time, I wasn’t thinking “oh wow her mom is a dick that’s a fucked up thing to tell a kid” I was thinking “I cannot ever trust this person” and! As it turns out! I did not, in fact, ever trust this person again. I do not think, if I met this person on the street now, that I would trust them even though I haven’t seen them in probably over a decade.
