Everybody asks me "how are you?" at least once a day everyday. And I still stop and think and analyze how I really feel that instant. I feel somehow still compelled to say the truth yet don't want to be bothered by following query if my response is not the perfunctory "okay". So I am left with the battle with myself to lie and be expedient or to say what I really feel and invite unwanted queries from often well meaning people.
"How are you?" I had to stop and think. I shrug my shoulder and not look at you in the eye and say a neutral "eh". But if you are lucky, you might be able to finagle a "Great! Thanks for asking." from out of me.
Remove your shoes, take a seat beside me and be comfortable. Welcome to my world.
