What’s the most difficult promise you’ve kept?

In the airport,

I promised him

- I promise, I’ll come back to you. No matter what it takes.

He said, he was worried that I’d forget him and he’d lose me forever.

To which I answered

“I promise, as long as I know you are here, waiting for me, I’ll come back to you. You just promise me that, you’ll wait for me.”

He promised. After all, it was him who loved more, among us.

He promised to wait, and I promised to go back.

But a pandemic… I couldn’t go back for 2.5 years.

For 2.5 years, every day I woke up trying,

I passed in Chinese university to go there as a student, but China didn’t allow any students go in country and Chinese nationals couldn’t leave either, even though he tried.

I joined the religious organizations I didn’t believe anything about, I just joined to be able to get allowance to cross that fricking border somehow, it didn’t work,

I enrolled the flying courses, to somehow be able to reach there. Was futile, as it would take me years.

I refused to start a new life back in Georgia and for more than 2 years I tried multiple ways to go back to China.

I even wrote a letter to the president, to please let me in the country and allow me see someone I loved.

I started a business and earned a very big amount of money to just to be able to somehow reach there, but it was futile too, cause nobody was given visa,

I had dreams every night of standing in the airport and trying to somehow reach China,

I had dreams of drilling the Earth to China 🤣

And I came back, 2.7 years later…

But we broke up 2 months prior that.

I feel like I was a fool, to sacrifice everything for one promise I made.

But I also feel content that I loved so hard to do all these crazy things and to go All In, in my love.

And After all, I kept my promise and there’s a strange feeling of pride in that.

To know that, I never betrayed to our love.
