If you ask most people “How are you?” the answer is typically “fine”. Well I’m not fine. I’m not doing terrible either, but fine is far from where I’m at. Some days I feel fantastic, other days I have to work so hard to put on a happy face and get through the day. “Fine” which falls in the middle is something I rarely experience.

The truthful answer for me would be, I am a little better yet a little worse. Thankfully the Better has outpaced the Worse. I’m still here which should count for something, right? The only problem with this answer is it elicits a discussion to explain myself. Talking about what it means to feel better or worse is not something I’m comfortable with.
