Are You Okay? (dialogue short story)
"Are you okay?"
"I don't . . . know. It's complicated. I can be happy, in a good mood, and then something triggers me. I listen to a certain song, read a certain poem, see a certain photo and it's like everything comes flooding back to me. And then I'm not okay. And I think "how was I ever okay?" and it feels like I never will feel the feeling being okay. I want to break down and never get back up. Then for a couple of days, that feelng doesn't go away. I fight to smile, I get on everyone's nerves, and I shut myself out. Then one morning I wake up, and then suddenly I'm okay again."
" . . . ."
"You should'nt have asked if you didn't want the anser"
