Can we all agree to stop asking, if someone is okay?
I spent the day responding to this question over and over. I did not say I was good. That is the automatic response I don't think I will ever give again. The last time I answered that way it was a lie.
You get in the habit of saying it to make the other person comfortable. They don't want to actually know how you are doing. You don't want to make them worry.
Luckily, that day, she saw through me. She knew I was lying.
I told her that we knew it was finally/suddenly time. The day my mother would die.
Please don't ask me if I am okay. I don't want to have to pour my heart out to everyone I see.
