No, Really I’m Okay
I ran into a friend recently. The moment I saw her face, something in me tensed — that wordless knowing that passes between people who care about each other. She caught my expression before I could soften it.
No, really. I’m okay.
I decided it was easier to believe her.
We’ve all been her. We’ve all been me — choosing the easier path of acceptance over the harder one of going deeper and asking more.
No, Really I’m Okay is about the unspoken agreement we sometimes make with the people we love: I’ll take what you give me, and trust that you’ll tell me when you can’t.
