In simplest terms:
1. Where have you been?
2. Where are you now?
3. Where are you going?
I never seem to have a good answer. I usually just take a deep, deep breath and start the uncomfortable verbage. I even avoid some social gatherings because of a deep fear of feeling forced to answer these questions all night.
The problem is, theres no simple answer. All throughout school, we've been tought to summarize and condense our responses into concise, neat little cubelike answer-packages. Verbose essay responses are graded as 'fuzzy' or 'unclear'. But summing up any of these answers into a complete sentence or less will not satisfy the question. I'm terrified to talk about myself, so lets talk about you.
