“how are you holding up” asks the coworker
“i’m doing okay” we respond
“let me know how i can help” “let me know if you need anything” “please take care” “what are your plans” “when are you moving” “did you see []” “have you heard []” “are you scared” “how scared are you” “you should be more scared” “you should run” “you should already be running”
“let me know if there’s anything i can do to help”
“please take care of yourself”
i’m doing okay i just can’t sleep some nights is all. i haven’t been doing a great job at self care lately and everything feels a lot more difficult but it’s okay. i’ll be okay. i’m holding up alright.
