“How are you?”
“I hate that question. It’s a serious question that merits a serious answer. But you don’t care about my answer, not really. You expect me to say ‘fine’. And ‘fine’ is such bullshit word. It means I’m shit but I’m not going to tell you that. People are uncomfortable with pain expressed publicly. They say they’re okay without even thinking about it, just to be polite. The concept eludes me. People want to live in shades of pastel but I don’t function on that muted level. Maybe I’m too intense. Anyway, enough about me: how are you?”
