I’m Fine.

That’s what you say when someone asks you- ‘How are you?’ The instant reply is, I’m fine. No matter what kind of hell you are going through.

Stressed, upset, depressed, broken, tired, fed up, angry, anxious, jealous, guilty, defeated, ashamed- there are so many adjectives in the vocabulary to describe your negative emotions.

Then why do we prefer a four letter simple word? “FINE”. And you know the answer to that already. Don’t you?

Because nobody ever means to know how you really are when they ask you how you are. It’s just a formality- a question to start the communication.

And it’s not just “them”. It’s “us” too. Even we ask at least two people everyday about how they are without really meaning to know what they are going through.

And why am I writing a blog about this silly thing? Because it isn’t silly. Sure, it’s become a habit now, to ask how the other person is.

And I won’t preach something along the lines like…’the next time you ask someone this question, mean it.’

No. I know it’s not going to happen. Let’s stop beating around the bush. It’s a simple fact that everyone is busy with their own lives.

So nobody would give a minute to think about what you are going through.And fair enough, I would say.

Because even they are going through so much that you know nothing about. But that doesn’t mean nobody gives a damn about you.

Maybe they prioritize themselves first. And that’s okay. Self love is very important. In fact I would say, you start doing it too.

Why should someone else get the authority to make you feel better? Gear yourself up.

If you are feeling low, try to divert that negative energy into positive forces. Listen to good music, watch a funny movie, read books or inspirational quotes, spend time with pets- do something, in fact do anything that you love.

But don’t let that negative energy seep into your soul. For it can cause much more harm than you can imagine. And always remember, your life is much more important than the things that make you unhappy.

There is so much that I want to write about this topic, but maybe in my next blog. (Or a blog after the next one!) But it depends on how much you guys would like to read about it.

Let me know your honest opinions in the comments and I will try to be better.I promise. So see you, until next blog!😬
