I know its how we often show concern and reach out to others. I for one ask this question way to often than not, BUT I don’t like being asked the same.
This is for simple reason, in that moment in time I will be having a thousand things running through my mind. Yes I have been working on my natural talent of over thinking, so it may be a simple issue, but I would have ran a marathon with it, gone to the highs and the lows of the matter in my silence. When you ask me if am ok, its like taking me back 3 000 steps ,and I don’t even know my way . I wont be able to answer. I wont know how to explain everything to you so that you can see things the way I see them, so am forced to say, AM FINE, but really deep down, I desperately need help.
Rather I hear, ‘Talk to me’ , that way, it all explodes and am set free.. but asking me if am ok, its like sealing me up with a volcano errupting inside.
The voice in me
