Have I Changed?

Lately, quite many people come to me and tell me...

(1) You appear so different, nowadays.
(2) Are you stressed?
(3) You sound different.
(4) You appear more serious, lately.

I thought I am fine. I thought I am not that affected.
Perhaps, I am "letting out" by other means. Mm..
Probably, I am still in the process of getting used to it. Mm..
Presumably, I am coping okay. Mm..

Surely, life goes on. Let's look ahead and maintain the optimism of life.

Deep within, I don't think I have changed.
