What I actually say vs what I want to say
“How are you?”
What I actually say: “I’m good! How are you?”
What I want to say: “Life sucks. Why is this whole adult thing so hard? But do you even care what my answer is?” 😒
“How have you been?”
What I actually say: “I’ve been great!”
What I want to say: “I was fine until I bumped into you and had to pretend to want to talk to you.” 🙄
“How was your weekend?”
What I actually say: “It was nice and relaxing.”
What I want to say: “Zero things accomplished. Is it Friday yet? I think I might be allergic to Mondays.” 😪
“Oh wow, you go volunteering? That’s so great!”
What I actually say: “Yeah, I really enjoy it.”
What I want to say: “It’s alright. I needed something on my résumé, but to be honest, I’d rather be home eating a jar of cookies in my PJ’s and watching The Princess Diaries.” 🍪🎥👑
“What are your plans for the future?”
What I actually say: “Maybe I’ll go back to school and get my master’s.”
What I want to say: “I have no idea. Life’s a mess, and I have nothing figured out. I think I need a nap.” 😴

Yeah,it is for this very reason that I have turned into a good listener because most of the times we don’t mean what we speak and what we mean we never speak it . 🙂

I really try to be a good listener too, also because I don’t like to be interrupted when I speak, so I try to respect others when they speak. Thanks for stopping by!
