Muddling Through

The hardest question a person could ask me right now is "how are you?". How am I? I don't even know myself. I could also be so trivial say I'm OK but I'm not. But I am not also a total wreck (though sometimes it feels as if I am — inwardly that is). They best vague answer I could give is that I am coping. Coping with the storm of emotions raging inside me. Coping with all the issues that keeps cropping up left and right. Coping with the people I have to "handle" (but how do you handle oneself?). It's a good thing I've learned how to compartmentalize my emotions or everything would be a total chaos. But truth be said, I deliberately go way off tangent once in a while just to keep myself sane. =oP
