'are you okay?'

the most often reply is, 'yes, i'm fine',
which in a way is true, but only because it's a habit to say it.

then you have the more challenging question,
'what are you feeling?'
which cannot be answered very easily,
and generally noone truly knows how they're feeling,
so you get the reply, 'nothing'.
which can annoy people alot, can make them think that you just can't be bothered to talk to them,
but really, they want to talk to you, they just don't know what about.

and to finish off, you get, 'what are you thinking?'
which in itself is hard to answer,
because if you answer honestly, it could hurt or upset someone,
and if you lie, well it may have just been easier to tell the truth,
and sometimes, you don't know what to say,
because what you were thinking was so surreal, that you wanted it to be true,
and the realisation of it being just a 'day dream', makes it that much harder to accept.
