most of the time you'll get the canned "good, and you?" but once in a while somebody will suddenly give you a very alert look, and they might be willing to share some of what they've been going through. life is hard, but very much worth living! trust me when i say that it feels good to be there for others, even if it's just you listening for a few minutes.

I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to say, “Good and you?” when someone asks, “How are you doing?” Not me. I love taking this opportunity to honestly unload exactly where I’m at on the ever swinging pendulum that is my constantly shifting emotional/psychological/spiritual state. Try being completely transparent next time someone cracks open this door to a potentially true human connection.

fight the instinct to hold back and keep things “light”. your friends are more willing to get real with you than you might think!

maybe that sounds a little annoying, but i used to wait around for a surge of manic energy to hit me in order to find the motivation to get out of bed and do things. these days, i try to remind myself that i matter, and if i care about myself then i should do things for my mind and body that are fulfilling. this isn’t perfect, and there are definitely still bad days. but you owe it to yourself to try, i hope things get easier :)
