I truly hate being asked if I’m okay. I am a single mom in the true sense of the phrase, I work full time in a very physically and mentally demanding job, my child is mildly autistic, and I have absolutely no support system but I have plenty of people that want to tell me how I’m doing life wrong. I’m obviously not okay. But if I don’t focus on not being okay, then I can make it through the day and accomplish everything I need to accomplish. Don’t ask me if I’m okay, because then I’ll think about all the reasons I’m not okay. Instead, tell me I’m doing great, tell me I’m strong, tell me you appreciate me. 🙂

Also, I really hate being asked “why?” It just irks me.
