Are you okay?
Dears,
Have you ever asked yourself, "Are you okay?" Do you find it kind of weird that I’m addressing myself like someone else? (Lol, never mind.)
Are you okay? And I’ll respond to myself—"Yes, I’m okay" or "I will be okay."
But in truth, I’m not. Because if I were, I wouldn’t even need to ask. Maybe I just don’t have the courage to admit that I’m not okay. Why? Because if you’re familiar with depression, you know that most of the time, you don’t even know why you feel sad. And the saddest part? You don’t even have control over your own emotions.
That’s why you don’t tell a soul—because they’ll ask, "Why are you sad?" And you won’t have an answer. So, you just wait for the dark clouds to pass, like they always do. But each time, they take a little piece of your soul with them.
So, dears… Are you okay?
