The next time someone asks you how it’s going, really tell him. “It’s going like crap, man. This day is a root canal after you hear your dog died. But I’m getting through it. How about you?” Laugh so loud you get in trouble for it. Cry when people die. Hug your friends and family and tell them what they mean to you.
