- I’m having a relatively low pain day
- I feel normal but don’t want to bum you out
- I’m hurting a lot but I don’t want you to think I’m complaining
- I’m hurting a lot but you’re only asking to be nice so I won’t tell you that
- I’m not doing fine but I’m trying to convince myself I am
- I am too tired to tell you how I actually feel
- It makes me too upset to tell you how I actually feel
- I have forgotten what “fine” is so I use the word and I hope you don’t question it
This list is by no means complete, these are just what I find most often in my life

Brazilian graphic designer and illustrator Butcher Billy got the idea of turning famous love hits into book covers of horror master Stephen King.
Joy Division’s “Love Will Tear Us Apart,” The Smiths, “Head Over Heels” by Tears For Fears and many others were portrayed in a very unusual way.
“This series imagines an alternate universe where some of the most desperate and tragic romantic songs in the ‘70s and’ 80s are actually books written by Stephen King. The concept is to look at the dark side of love by the vision of pop culture, bringing aspects of its classic stories to play the true meaning of the songs - this can be completely subverted or stressed strangeness, while paying tribute to the vintage design of the original covers,” Butcher writes on his Behance.
