Day 5 Painting 5

I never know how to answer that question. “Good“ feels disingenuous, disengaged, almost bored. And to say “Amazing!“ I’d have to actually feel like it, I don’t want to lie even though it’s just a polite greeting that doesn’t necessarily require more context. But saying anything like “So, so“ or “Eh…“ opens the floor for concerned questions I might not want to answer. The crazy thing in our society though is, if I say “Busy.“ Everyone nods understandingly. “Ah, she must be tired but doing well.“. Being busy is a pledge many wear with pride. I use it too, but only to deflect, never to describe my actual state, my inner landscape. Not to be dramatic but if you really want to know how I am doing right now? Look at the painting.

„How are you doing?“
