Are you okay? It should be an easy question to answer yet it isn't, at least not for me. What would I even answer? I can't tell them that life feels like a huge wave dragging me under water, deep down into the dark sea where no sunlight can pierce and brings me back to the surface only for a few seconds before drowning me again. I can't tell them that life feels like a broken elevator that keeps going down and never brings me back to a higher level. I can't tell them that life feels like quicksand pulling me down constantly without any way of getting out.
So instead, I answer "I'm fine."
