Why is it easier for us to accept someone's half assed "I'm fine"s rather than actually help and say "I know you aren't"
It is easier to walk away when someone saying they're fine because we don't actually care when we ask someone if they are ok
Which is why it scares us when people aren't "fine" because that isn't the status quo and god forbid if anyone in today's society isn't normal
So we will continue to say we are fine with tears running down our cheeks and blood running from our wrists
And we will continue to turn a blind eye when someone tells us "I'm fine" when they have a knife in hand
Because it is culturally expected that we continue to be "fine"
– I'm Fine // F.C.

Is anyone actually fine?
