people ask you how you're doing, how you're feeling. they don't actually want to know. half of the time they don't actually care. they do it out of habit, being polite. but they don't really want to hear the truth. because no one likes to hear about the dark hopelessness that is reality for some. why burst their perfect bubble of perpetual perfection?
"hey, what's up? how are you?"
"nothing. I'm fine"
