When someone asks, "how are you?", they really don't want an answer.
OMG, I totally forgot she said this and...GAH. I've said the exact same thing before, at least in my head. People ask me how I am and I've learned that a lot of the time, I can't really tell the truth because no one wants to hear it. They ask to show they care when, in a certain way, they don't. They don't want share in my life, or share theirs with me, because when I ask, I want to know. They tell me they're fine and expect me to do the same. It makes me want to scream and cry because I want that so much, but have lived a little bit longer than Elena and know it doesn't get easier. What I'm looking for is a lot more rare than it should be.
SOB and I have filled your post with my own personal ramblings instead of love for Elena. The quote just really struck me. Elena, why are you me? ♥
