Reach Out & Be Reached

How are you?

Please, do not utter the f-word on your mind. The word 'fine' defeats the purpose of the question. Because I know you might mask the meaning behind the word; suppressing many distressing thoughts and memories. Maybe, you are obliviously hiding from yourself and from the truth, or you feel numb but the word 'fine' saves you the trouble of trying to explain the numbness within. Usually, fine is used to describe the weather, an attractive person, or a school. But never something as complex as your emotions. Why is that? It's because most of the time you can distinguish between the ones who care and those who don't. So don't take anyone's concern for granted. Reach out, and allow yourself to be reached too.
