"How are you?"



We all have different experiences, different lifestyles, different lives... and we may not know it, but sometimes, the only question we'd only wanna hear from people is: "How are you?"

"I'm fine."
"I'm good."
"Everything's alright."
"Nothing much really."
"nm"
"fine"

SAME OLD. SAME OLD. Why can't I hear these answers?

"My dog died...He was a gift from my dad and ... "
"My favourite band's gonna have a concert near our place and my parents wouldnt mind me spectating!"
"I got fired from my job ..."
"I'm going to have a new cousin!"

They sound better, don't they?

It would be nice to know that someone actually listens. That someone actually cares. Not like:

"Ahh.." (silence)
"Aww, that's terrible!" (silence)
"Good for you" (silence)
"Good to hear" (silence)
(silence)
*laughs* (silence)
"Okay" (silence)

Have a conversation and make a friend. I have been in a lot of conversations that doesn't even reach up to 15 minutes and yes, it feels bad. I would think that maybe I'm just simply a boring person. A conversation where the words would just come out and you'd lost track of time is the conversation that I'm aiming for. A conversation where you're both having fun, forgetting the things that has been stressing you out for a couple of days. Conversations where everything is just background noise...just you and your friend or two...just chatting... And it all started with that one question...

So tell me...


How are you?

If You Have Thoughts About Suicide (Like Me)

If you have been crying in your room all night wishing to end everything, If you have been waking up thinking if you can make it through today, If your thoughts are louder than the sound of your friends pounding and endlessly knocking on your door begging you to open up, If you have ever faked your smiles and your "i'm okay's" so you don't end up crying while telling someone how you really feel, If you have ever felt like a burden to anyone that you think the best way is to disappear, and If you've ever felt too much that you need to feel something burning on your skin to remind you that you are alive, you are not alone. I thought I was going to be okay. I was healing. I was meeting with my psychiatrist once every month. I buy my medicines every week and take them regularly and on time. I was on track. I was going to be okay. Or so I thought. My family does not understand "depression" and "anxiety". They don't understand w...

Take Them Away From Suicide

I know most of us have thought about this act. Suicide. What makes us think about this?  Yes. Problems, problems, problems. We all think that dying is the gateway to solving whatever life throws at us. No existence, no problem! NO more bullying, no more stress. You're free! But... What do we gain from being dead? We'll have nothing to do but look at all these people breathing, talking, eating, running, walking, LIVING. Doing all the things that you can do no more.  I don't know what it feels like to be dead (because I still get to post these stuffs) but look at it this way... You're dead. You're a ghost. You see your family weeping over you because you killed yourself. You wanted to hug them and tell them that you're gonna be okay, but you cant, and you're not even close to being okay.
