Ai
Promise Collection
Hello.
Ai is a promise collection. Verily, all of us have promises at some point or another.
If not a promise, then perhaps some unspoken vow.
Ai is an acknowledgement to all promises, big and small.
It is a scrapbook of thoughts, both momentary and eternal.
Whether they are still cherished or fleeting like the wind,
the collection will remain along with the promises shared with it.
Big or small, important or playful, whoever comes upon this place may share their promise.
Ai was created to turn what was once grim into something hopeful.
The only "goal" is to collect and share the promises of the world, personal or not.
Promises, though, are statements. And just like statements, they can mean anything, and say anything.
Not all of them need to be obvious, understood, or specific. And while they can be to others, many individuals have made promises to themselves.
Even if it was a promise only made upon seeing this collection, the hope is that this promise is a motivator.
By "declaring" the promise, and promising to Ai (if not just to one's self), this vow may perhaps linger,
and may forever be a snapshot of one's goals.
If you would not have any serious promise to make, or are the type to spur in the moment...
Perhaps it is even the promise to make a promise that can propel yourself, and others.
With humility, Ai is gallery of humanity -
collecting of people's thoughts across time, not only being a scrapbook of papers, but dreams.
It aims to respect, show, and encourage these beautiful dreams.
At the end, Ai is just a site, and perhaps a tool.
Hopefully, some may embrace solace by sharing their thoughts, or reading the thoughts of others.
It is true that promises can be broken - and while their purpose is to be kept, perhaps it is also the original idea that truly counts.
Any promise is enough, however, and hosting promises will forever be what Ai is for.
Just like promises, Ai is only as important as how you treat it.
Whether you're a wanderer stopping by,
or one who is weary and must indulge in themselves,
Ai will forever collect the promises of the world's travellers, regardless of what they are in the eyes of humans.
Ai is a collection, and a tribute to "love".
If you wish to share your promise, you may...
