I was talking to a good friend today, and we were considering how many people put on such a perfect "I'm fine" face even when they're so not fine. Perhaps we're afraid to let the real truth out, because just maybe we're the ONLY ONE who's not fine. My friend and I concluded that NO ONE is perfectly fine, and we might as well just have it out.
Maybe we've all propagated this attitude ourselves by rushing by each other and saying things like "How're ya doing?" and then not stopping to hear the answer. Maybe we shouldn't ask unless we have the time, or keep asking and just slow down for five seconds to make sure that the person we asked is really as "fine" as they say they are.
Personally, I have no qualms telling the world wide web that I am rarely, if ever, "just fine". It's always something. Not to say I'm unhappy, or that my life is a disaster all the time...I just mean that I'll be the first to say that I'm dealing with some issues. I have a hunch that I'm not the only one.
