If one more person asks me “How are you feeling?”, I might just fkn lose it.
Not because I don’t appreciate the question.
Not because I don’t want to be seen.
But because I don’t know what to say anymore.
I’m tired. I’m overwhelmed. By things that shouldn’t feel this big and underwhelmed by things I used to care so much about.
So when you ask me “How are you feeling?”,
please know that I might say, “I’m okay.”
Not because it’s true, but because it’s the only answer I have energy for today.
And maybe (emphasis on maybe), instead of asking me to explain myself, i might allow you to just sit with me for a moment. That would mean more than any answer I could give.
