Apparently my default setting is 'GOOD'. I catch myself more and more often describing absolutely everything as being good - my mood, how my day was, how my evening was, how that last test I wrote was, how that last muffin I ate was, apparently it's all good.
So these kinds of questions I consider 'small talk' questions. Although your really good friend might ask you how your test was and really mean it, they're just kind of small questions to provoke conversation. When I'm asked these kinds of questions, I go into default mode and answer them quickly, without a lot of thought. It's either good, okay, bad or really bad. Never excellent, or fantastic, just simple, little mediocre good.
According to my response, I think life and everything in it is nothing other than GOOD, and I hate that I do that - generalize. Everyone's always saying that we need to make the most out of life, so why do we make everything seem so ordinary when we talk about it? Wonderful amazing fantastic things that happen deserve more credit than what we give them, pretty much.
