Caring

Most of the time, when I ask someone a question like "how are you?" or "how's it going?" people take it as me just making small talk, but the truth of the matter is that, if I ask you something like that, it's me genuinely caring about how you're doing or how your day is. I hate how things like that have been downgraded to small talk in the minds of people today. Makes me fucking sick. A couple of other things that I tell people that I mean with all of my essence are phrases like "take care" or "goodnight" or "sweetdreams." Every time I say those things to someone, I genuinely mean them. I mean for you to take care, to have a good night, and to have sweet dreams, it's not just a conditioned response to variable situations. :( Maybe i'm not built for this bullshit of a place to live in.
