Normal

It's amazing how much we've all been programmed to act a certain way. I know when to smile, when to laugh at a joke, how to sit in meetings, how to talk in person, how to talk on the phone, what to say to small talk, how to make dinner, talk to my kids about their day, how to make it look "normal." We've all been so socialized for such a long time that even on most of my really bad days I can look like nothing is going on. I can make it so that (almost) no one can see what's really going on. (Ok - assuming I can control the crying, which is a give away, I admit. But I'm making a point here.)

But don't assume I'm fine.

Don't look at the man behind the curtain.
