M, powerful honest loving. As for me, I’d love to think I would never simply say ‘i’m good’ or ‘fine’ to you. Depending on the circumstances they might even be passive aggressive statements. I remember giving those responses to my step father as a way of saying piss off. So who knows what you trigger in people by being vague.

Anyway I received good news today. I rely on Grammerly, I used it for several years for work stuff and more as I started Medium. Every Moday I get their e-mail telling me what I did wrong and right, etc. At the bottom they tell you the moods or tone of the content you wrote. A new one popped up today. In five years it never popped up until today. "Loving". It says a lot about my journey and how I am today. Really!
