I am sort of okay. I mean not bad, just not exactly all right. How can that be you ask? I mean either all is well or all is not well, right? Well not exactly. Because a lot of the time, I can give the appearance of being okay and if I continue the charade long enough, I almost believe it too. Being able to fake it gets easier, obtainable. So I will say it again, all is well. There I said it. Did I sound convincing? Well it does not matter what you say anyways because 1,547 of my friends believe me. Well not exactly. I mean they believe me alright but I don’t have 1,547 friends. But if you ask FACEBOOK I do. I have about the same on TWITTER and most of those on INSTAGRAM. And I won’t even go into LIKES. I by social media metrics am one well liked human being. So if that is true, then why on heaven’s green earth do I often feel like complete #$%t. That is a rhetorical question. I did not expect an answer. Truth is I know the answer.
It is because there is no amount of LIKE that can fill a hole in the UNLIKE inside you. Most of my problems could be solved with a JUST ASK button. Trouble is people don’t really want to know. They just want to believe they are doing slightly better than the other person clicking away next them. If I could count the number of times I found out something about someone I thought I knew for the first time on FACEBOOK via a midnight post. Tis true unfortunately. I mean what the hell. And If I were really bonafide honest with myself I would admit this. I am fooling no one to the degree I want to in terms of how I am really doing and how I am really feeling. If there were a do over and Mark Z. asked me to design FACEBOOK, I would immediately throw out all the EMOJI nonsense and the options would be “THAT’S BS” “PRAY FOR ME” and “JUST ASK”.
Because the down to the dirt truth is none of us is truly “All OKAY”. Word up? This is intended for the say about 119 friends I truly have. And that's when I count family.
Signed, Keeping it Real before I really start believing the nonsense.
