I think we've normalized saying "I'm fine" a little too much.

It's become the default answer.

Even on the days when you're exhausted.

Even when your mind won't slow down.

Even when you're carrying something you haven't told anyone.

Sometimes "I'm fine" doesn't mean you're okay.

It just means you don't know where to begin.

So here's a different question.

What's something you wish people asked instead of "How are you?"
