"But you seemed fine"
Ah, see, but there's that word "seemed." Yes, I may have "seemed" fine, and yes there may be a smile on my face at each passing day, or a wave hello in the halls; but I can guarantee you with every inch of flesh in my being that there is absolutely nothing "fine" about me. Seemed is a tricky word you see, because things aren't always what they "seemed" to be.

People always see what's happening on the outside, a smile can persuade them that everything is fine. They never really to care what's happening on the inside.
