Summary

Is your word as good as gold, or is it as flimsy as the paper it’s written on? Too many times in my life I’ve overcommitted at the moment, only to fail to live up to the commitment later on.

0:54.8

But in that wiring there comes some pretty unique deficits.

0:59.3

And one of those deficits are unfortunately letting people down.

1:04.0

You know, having these big commitments that I make to others in my life

1:08.0

and then backing out on them, it's a little unique, it's a little rough.

1:27.6

I always forget, I say December 27, she says December 29th,
