@Germhel 7 April 2021 more from that month

When was the last time someone asked you, "How are you?" and you just readily answered "I'm okay" because you are so tired of opening up yourself and just get invalidated later on? I know this always happen. Worse, sometimes people stop checking on you because you always seem okay even if deep inside you are not. But hey, remember that not all people are like that. So, how are you actually? The truth? Whatever you are feeling right now, I hope you get to open up with someone that you really trust. And if you are that trusted enough by someone who opens up with you, I hope you really lend them your empathetic ears. If you have time, maybe you can check on your friends, family or relatives. They might just too shy to reach out. You may be afraid of being invalidated again. We should check on each other. The current events getting progressively worse. Many of us are struggling emotionally. Many are struggling with their mental health. Your simple "how are you?" will surely go a long long way. We need to stick together. We need to support each other. We need each other. So, how are you? 😊
