If you ask me how I'm doing, I'm going to tell you the truth. I'm tired. Like, tired into my bones. I have a toddler who doesn't sleep, a sick parent, very busy big kids, a job, a house under construction...

I'm tired. It's a lot. And I'm going to tell you that when you ask.
I'm sick of society's expectation that we're not going to burden each other with the truth when someone asks "how are you?" or "What's happening in your life?"

We need to be honest with each other. We aren't helping anyone with this garbage. So I'm gonna tell you the truth.
And if it feels like a burden to know how people are really doing, don't ask the question in the first place.

It's really quite simple. It's not about being negative or a downer. It's about being honest, and sometimes life is negative. That's just the facts.
