It’s kind of hard to live in a world or space at least where I genuinely care to hear if you are having a hard time or not, but expecting 99% of people to not be sincere when asking you the question.
It’s always a little strange to grow up not really knowing how to talk to people, to go and work on it to get better at it (which took years of fucking up conversations because I said something wrong or whatever the case may be), only for the entire world to change their mindset on stuff like this.
As I was growing up, I was told to treat others how you wanted to be treated, and I really did take that to heart. I’ve always felt like the world is already a hard place, so why do we have this need to make it harder?
Anyway, generally if someone asks me how I am, I am just honest. Bad days are bad, good days are good. When I ask the question, I mean it.

Just weird to see as I get older. :-]
