I’m just going to say things I seldom say out loud.
I’m sorry and I love you.
Sometimes it comes to a point where I ask myself if I exerted too much or it wasn’t just enough. I wanted to create a bond with people whom I call friends, I wanted to be closer to them. But after a pail of laughter and sunny moods, it just ends there. I’ve always been afraid of vulnerability. I actually admire people who are very transparent, at least they don’t need to make an effort to shift their true emotions into a blinding smile. Maybe I haven’t met that kind of friends yet or maybe they are just there and I’m just oblivious.
In as much as I don’t want to use the cliché: I’m ok/I’m fine, that’s all I can answer. Most likely reasons: 1. I don’t want to sound emotional/dramatic. 2. I don’t want them to worry. 3. I don’t want to talk about it yet 4. I don’t trust the person. 5. I feel that they are not really sincere in asking. In truth, it’s really not fine. So maybe if you really want to know if your friend’s okay, ask him/her several times.
