“Just count your blessings,” they’d tell me whenever I would share my suffering. They’d label it complaining or griping, so I learned quickly to stay quiet and answer, “I’m fine” whenever someone asked (but didn’t really want to know), “How are you?” “It’s important to be positive,” they’d say whenever I told them I was […]
