How are you?
Good.
How are you feeling?
Good.

It's so **** easy to just say "good".
To hide a lifetime of worry and fear
In one simple word.
The alternative is...
Harder.
The truth
Unbearable.

To look at someone and say
"I'm worried about money"
"I haven't been feeling so good lately"
"I have fears about where my life is headed"

It's easier to say
"I'm good"
But it's not true.
I feel now, more than ever, that I need to put everything into words. I'm too scared to let my thoughts just ramble about in my head. If I make them words then I can face them.
