William Shakespeare

how are you today

How art thou faring today? 'Tis a question of wonder, for one cannot know the answer without looking at one's own heart. Doest thou feel content? Doest thou feel joy? Or art thou feeling a strange emptiness, a void that cannot be filled? Perhaps 'tis the result of a lack of purpose, or of a lack of love. The answer to this question is not an easy one to answer. It dependeth upon one's own state of mind, and what lies within one's heart. Mayhap one should take a few moments to reflect upon the day, and to explore the depths of one's soul. Art thou content? Art thou joyous? Or art thou still searching for something that eludes thee? Verily, 'tis a difficult question to answer, for one's feelings can change from moment to moment. Mayhap one should take a few moments to explore the depths of one's soul and to ask oneself if one is truly content with life. One may find that the answer is yes, or that one needs to make some changes to find true contentment. Whatever the answer may be, 'tis important to remember that one's feelings today may not be the same tomorrow. Life is constantly changing, and so too must one's feelings. So, how art thou faring today? The answer lies within thy heart.
