I have the attention span of a toddler and a memory span of a 90 year-old all conveniently (dis)arranged in a 17-year-old wreck of a soul. I am not a noun. I seem to be a verb, an evolutionary process, an integral function of the universe. I’m simply a human fill-in-the-blank.

This will serve as my outlet and where I shall vent. This is also a place for my ramblings and my interests. I will post whatever tickles my fancy, catches my eye and flips my ship. My blog is never consistent; but expect rants, thoughts and pictures. Pictures aren't mine unless stated.

“Are you okay?”

These three words used to form the question is the most frequent question that I get asked randomly. I like it when people ask me that question to check on my emotional status and well-being, because I know that they are looking after me.

I think that this question should be asked more frequently and is vital because it allows people to have an insight of other people’s standing. This question invites the person being interrogated to open up themselves and discuss their problem, and that’s a healthy thing to do rather than bottling it up. I know that the common response to the question would be ‘Nothing, I’m fine.’ or ‘I’m just tired.’ but you’ll never know what they are going through unless you ask. They will most likely to vent out their problems to you. 

Sometimes, wherever I am with my friends, they randomly pop up the question ‘Are you okay?’ out of nowhere. It makes me question what I did to make them ask that. Was it my posture? Was it my blank and tired facial expression? What did I say before to make them ask that? And when I realize that they only asked out of interest, I feel extremely grateful that they are looking after me and checking how I am feeling. Because I am the type of person who keep up a facade.
