One of the worst things about having someone you care about who isn't doing well is the random people you bump into who greet you with "how are you today?"
I hate insincerity in myself and lying even more.
So, I want to say, "pretty fucking awful and you?"
I don't. But honestly, it'd be better than the real truth "My Dad is on life support and my best friend just found out his eight year old has stage 4 cancer. You?"
