When it comes to marriage, the term means the union of two people who have mutual interests and, as a result, decide to spend their lives together. But, What if we are forced to do it. Is it still called Marriage?
They said "Promises are meant to be broken" Cliché, but I do believe in it. But at the time that we experienced the worst, we broke our promise. Our heart shattered into pieces. It Is said that the best way to keep a promise is not to give it. Few would disagree. So why, then, make any promises at all? Given the fallout from breaking a promise, surely it would be better not to promise anyone, anything?
I, Celeste Diane Merlich, Our story is like a Pie Crust, they are made to be broken.
