"Are you okay?"

'Okay' is entirely subjective.
Probably by most people's standard, I am not okay. You would probably even say that something is definitely wrong. Some people might even say 'breaking'. Some would follow this with 'down'.
I don't use such terms. 
I call this 'okay'. I'm still breathing, I'm alive in some sense of the word. The desire to be either of these may be lacking, but there's not a lot I can do about that. 
No, rather there is, but it would require cooperation of others. 
So there more or less isn't.
No, scratch all that.
Most people would probably say that I'm not okay. That is all well and good, and probably true. That isn't the important part. I could probably overlook everything and be 'okay' by most people's standards. I don't though. Instead, I see all of those things and accept that I'm fucked up.
