Dependability

Being "dependable", to me, is about making promises. Promises are what end up becoming things that nag at me to be anywhere but in the present, because they force me to remember the fact that I have talked to someone (or myself) in the past about something I said I would do in the future… neither of which may have anything to do with what is happening to me in the present. Promises are, by definition, about NOT living in the present.

The only promise I feel I can truly make is that I will live in the present moment of my life. The reason why that is the only promise I feel I can truly keep is because of how it feels to break that promise. It doesn’t feel bad. It just feels "odd"… and the way to remove the odd feeling is to get back into the present moment, as promised It’s the only promise that I’m truly glad to break, because I know that, ultimately, it is impossible to permanently damage it… it will always be in my nature to go back to keeping it – it’s unnatural for me not to… so I will always return to it – I don’t need to force myself to do so.
