Joe’s Post to Nelly: A Vow in Front of a Priest
Joe sat at his desk, his fingers hovering over the keyboard. The words he had been meaning to say for so long were finally coming to him, and this time, he was determined to get it right. He had thought about it long and hard, about what mattered most in this world of chaos and fleeting distractions. He knew what he had to say.
He began typing:
For Better or Worse
Nelly,
I know we’ve both been through a lot—ups and downs, doubts and dreams—but here’s the truth I need to say. For better or worse, I’m here. And I will be, no matter what. I don’t need a courtroom or a lawyer to tell me what’s real. All I need is a vow. A vow in front of a holy man, a priest, someone who believes in something greater than all the noise around us. That’s the only vow that matters.
I know money has been a concern for you, but if you’ve already spent it all, that’s okay. We’re building something real here, something more than just cash or possessions. We have a reality show that’s picking up steam, and it’s not just about fame or fortune—it’s about telling our story. The real story.
I’m not asking for anything except to walk this path with you, with honesty, with faith. We don’t need the world’s approval. We have each other, and that’s enough.
For better or worse, Nelly, I’ll stand by you.
Joe
Joe sat back, reading the words again. It wasn’t perfect, but it was his truth. He clicked “send” and leaned back in his chair, feeling a sense of relief wash over him. Whatever came next, he knew he had made his vow. A vow that wasn’t about money, status, or appearances. It was about something deeper. Something real.
