How am I... really?
It feels like I'm gravitated to a ceiling of lush, green grass, and that a magnificent multi-coloured hot air balloon is puffing up towards me in my upside down world, pressing me down and holding me against the green grass. The balloon looks beautiful, colourful, but its suffocating and restricting. I should be enjoying the grass and its lushness and comfort, but I am reminded it is only grass and sometimes grass has ants and sticks involved.
I should be flying over rooftops, not sandwiched between a growing and suffocating force and that which does not belong on the ceiling. My world shouldn't be upside down.
I'm too tired to hide away and lick my wounds.
I am scared.

lonely, chronic pain, underappreciated, ugly, fat, and fruitless life...oh and depressed, but hanging by a thread most days..sorry for the negativity, but that's the raw, honest truth. But i pretend like most people do and think i'm an awesome actress at this feat. What sucks is that my social life is so minimal that the occasional clerk can make or break my day until i go crying to Jesus in my room later.

Things are going well, feeling a little bit on the lonely side lately but its been great in my relationship with Christ. He has definitely been taking me into beautiful consideration this week and I should probably busy myself until this is all over.
I have been thinking about exploring new places, I have been thinking about sights, sounds, smells, stories, analogs, dialogs, bull frogs. It's all cool though. I feel like my mind is a leaky faucet these days. I also found some amazing musical artists, I wish I had some sort of talent like that because I would stay up hours after hours making beautiful music like that and I wish I could paint too for the very same reason. Le sigh.

lil_christian, you inspired this thread. 
I think we've had a thread like this before, but it's been a while so it's time to have another one.
When people ask how someone else is doing, this is what the conversation typically looks like:
Person 1: Hey! How have you been?
Person 2: I've been good! How about you?
Person 1: I'm good!
....*The end.*
It's more of a polite question, with a "fine" response expected, but I'm going to ask you because I care and it's a good place to share:
How are you...REALLY? Be it at this point in the day, this point in your life, whatever you want it to be. Perhaps we can encourage each other and pray for each other using this thread as well.

How I can I feel abandoned even when the world surrounds me, how can i bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me, how can i know so many never really knowing anyone... if i seem superhuman I have been misunderstood... (song lyrics that feel particularly apt.)
I'm running on autopilot most days. Luckily for me it's an autopilot that involves God or I would have crashed and burnt. Much love to our ever faithful Savior.
