adult wisdom

(I know I haven't been updating this as often as I said I would. I've been busy and lazy - my apologies!)

Had dinner with my roommate tonight, and we had a good conversation about relationships, the differences between them in China versus the US, and the similarities too. He's a good guy. Anyway, at one point during our dinner, he said something that I think is true and not very often said, which is: Love is not just the willingness to make promises to someone, but also the determination to follow through on them.

It reminds me a bit of the Gavin McGraw song: "What good is a life/ with no one to share/ the light of the moon/ the honor of a swear?"
