'How are you?' they ask, and the only answer i can give truthfully is, "i'm ok." ok doesn't mean i'm doing good, or well. ok doesn't mean i'm not dealing with anything or that my life is perfect. not at all. me saying i'm ok is me saying that i'm going through a lot. it's me saying that my life is hard right now. it's me saying that i'm struggling. it's me saying that i'm dealing with a lot. it's me saying that i am constantly fighting against anxiety and stress and everything else. it's me saying that i'm so tired of feeling like i'm never enough. it's me saying that my insecurities bother me every day. it's me saying that i'm so tired. it's me saying that i don't know how i can keep going. but i'm ok. somehow i'm ok. somehow i keep going. no, i'm not doing good. no, i'm not doing well. but i'm ok. im safe. im strong. im more than my anxiety and my insecurities. the reality is that i don't feel good all the time, but im ok. i am ok.
