They all ask the same questions.
How's school?
How's your family?
What are you doing in school?
How are you?
and time and time again my answers remain the same.
Schools good.
My family is good. Slightly crazy, but good.
*In detail describes what I'm doing in school*
I'm good. Having an AMAZING day, ya know?
But that's not what I want to say. No, I want to say-
Schools getting boring. I already know everything that's being taught. Not to be snobby, but it's true.
Even Math doesn't pose ANY CHALLANGE! I'm so bored---
My family is annoying. Not to happy with their noise levels. My sibling broke my bedroom door, and now there is nowhere in the house where it's quiet. (unless I stay up, so. . . I've become a. . . I want to say Night Owl, but I'm up early two. . . I'm not getting enough sleep. If given the opportunity, I could sleep for DAYS)
In school? Same as last year. Except Social Studies, did that in 6th. And I've got 2 SUPER easy electives. Like, I doN'T EVEN NEED A BRAIN ANYMORE!!!!!
Overall? I'm good.
I mean, besides the fact that I only eat a few "snacks" and dinner. Besides the fact that I'm running on an hour of sleep. Besides the fact that the voices are getting louder. Besides the fact that I'm relatively sure I'm going insane.
No. I'm not fine. But in the end, you'll never know. Because, let's be honest. I'm NEVER going to say anything but "I'm good"

a new nurse struggling during this pandemic
as the title states, I am a new nurse, 5 weeks out. and the one thing I can't stop doing is being so hard on myself and nervous all the time. I go home some day...
You know, you don't have to keep saying you're good. The reason people ask those questions in the first place is that they want to know how your life has been. They're not looking for any specific answer. They're not asking the question so that you can say the same thing over and over again.
Since that's why they're really asking, why not just be honest with them? It's no use to keep your true feelings pent up. It is harmful to yourself to do that. If you just say what you're truly feeling, people will take notice of them and they will offer support. See, you said here how you're truly feeling and right now, I'm giving you my support. Just apply what you've done here when you're asked that. I hope I've given you the courage to do this.

ReplyWow. That's deep.
I kind of understand where you are coming from.
"Im good" Is a mask, hiding the untold truth.
"Im good" Is a mirror, reflecting the same question with the same answer.
"Im good" Is song, repeating the same words.
But if we take off the mask, look beyond our reflection, and find deep meaning in the lyrics,
We can sometimes find a better solution to hiding the truth, reflecting the answer, and repeating the same words.
We can sometimes tell the truth, find the answer, and find new ways to see and say what we feel.
