How are you?

Info
“How are you? “ – three words, one simple question yet leaving with complex apprehensions.

      “How are you? “ – three words, one simple question yet leaving with complex apprehensions. The past few days I’d never thought that these words are the real hard query -one simple interrogative statement but creates complex comprehensions. Little did I know, to answer this wringer requires full potential to pretense. You know, it’s better to say you are fine; you are doing good; you are alright, than to vividly explain why if you are not. There are days where you find yourself desiring to achieve productiveness, finish all the piled-up tasks and check all the things-to-do lists. Then there are days, you just want to lay down and be stuck staring blankly at nothing- really nothing. There are days when you feel in deep longing for a company but keeping yourself distant from any human beings. Moreover, there are days where you find yourself glad spending time with a bunch of talks with various people. Then, suddenly drops off  days where you feel that paper and pen are the only ones you want to spend your whole life with. Conflicted contradictions become a common second name; Obscurity as another surname. 

All along, traversing through different paths of pretensions, nevertheless, leaving no clues, I believe we just honestly want to be heard -to be actually listened to, but when a life-breathing body asks "how are you?"..

     Are you yet constructing the words.. "I. am. fine"?
