"He can promise you the world, honey, but he can't always give it to you."
I looked up at mama with tears in my eyes, her long face looking back at me. She was so wise, and so beaten by life. But she always knew just what to say, even if I didn't want to hear it.
I knew deep down, she was right.
Empty promises do not fulfill wishes.
