Did I Have To Go On This Ramble? No - Tumblr Posts

Alright, OP, as someone who has heard you say that, that one's a little too real

I'm not entirely sure it needs a lot of discussion, I think you've made yourself pretty clear, but I'll discuss if I must.

Being technically correct is a lot of fun for someone like me, who has an intense need to be correct at all times. When I'm arguing with someone and I'm able to find evidence that I'm technically correct, and I get to see their reaction to that in one way or another, it's one of the most gratifying things in the world.

But goddamn, as someone who can technically say he's okay, I am in hell at all times. If you define "okay" as surviving and breathing and being able to work without too much trouble, then by all technicalities listed, I am completely fine. I am "technically okay". But that leaves out all the ways I am not okay. It leaves out my cornucopia of mental health issues. It leaves out my struggles with being organized. It leaves out my intense state of being lost. It leaves out all these little things that are all banding together to have a significant effect on my life right now. But by the technicalities listed, I am okay.

So, yeah, OP, you're right and you should say it.

Technically correct is the best kind of correct, but technically okay is the worst kind of okay. Discuss.
