You know how it feels to have invented something and have your name entered into the Book of Records? That's how I feel whenever I remember that there's a special phrase attached to my name, which although hasn't entered any book of records but has settled in the hearts of many, and anytime they hear such phrase, no other person than Kingsley appears on the scene.
During last year's Christmas when I traveled home, I met one of my female friends that we talk often online, *"Hi Lifted, how are you doing?" *
"Once you're fine, I'm f...." She burst into laughter as she tried to finish the words, and we laughed together.
"Once you're fine, I'm fine."
This has been my all-time phrase. I use it to reply to someone asking how I'm fairing, and each time I do that, it sends a volume of love to the person asking, be it a lady or a guy. If the person is soft though, because there are people that such words don't work on🙄.
There was a day I had a chat with a friend, and when I replied with the phrase, she paused, gave me a love emoji😍🥰, and said, "If I see any other person using this phrase, I will fine him or her $1,000,000 for doing that."
These words blew my mind, and I couldn't contain the feeling. It's a clear fact that this phrase originated with me, and anyone using it without providing a reference should be jailed for plagiarism Lol😂
The phrase looks so simple, and you could see it as meaningless when being used often, but no, its magic works always.
How I came about this phrase
It was the year 2019 when I was transferred to a faraway land, and I had different kinds of people under me. It was a big privilege because I had people share their problems with me in exchange for prayers and words of encouragement.
There was a lady among them, in her early 20s. She cries at any slight problem; she's so fragile, are eyes are always loaded with tears, looking for means to explode.
If she starts, the only thing that could remedy the situation is someone being around and offering words of encouragement and I was always there for her.
After she has returned to her senses, she will walk up to me to apologize for the inconveniences and thank me for being there for her. I saw how pitiful she could be whenever she's disturbed (hurt), and I felt like relieving her of that crying nature or preventing her from anything that would make her cry.
So anytime we see each other and she asks how I'm fairing, I always tell her, "Once you're fine, I'm fine," and she'll say, "Awwwnn," with a smiling face coupled with shyness 🥰.

I want to permit you to use the phrase on someone you cherishes and see how lovely he/she will responds ☺️
Thanks for reading this 👍
😂😂Jailed for plagiarism, that's a little too extreme don't you think?
Once you're fine... I'm fine.
So that means if the other person isn't fine you're automatically not fine yeah?
Lol😂
We frown at plagiarism 🤸
I'm sure I've felt pain once or twice when you didn't feel well... I think there was a time we talked about this 🥰😂
Please don't make me laugh...You didn't actually feel actual pain and don't go giving out lines 😂😂😂
You?!
You doubts me always.
The day I told you I was in pain because you weren't fine, it was genuine☺️.
Right....I totally believe you 🌚🌚
Thank you for believing me ,my....🙈
That line goes well with the relationship I have between with my family. Since I am sort of their "caretaker", whenever I see them stressed, or when they're unwell, I feel unwell.
So, as it goes, I'll say "once they're fine, I'm fine."
Super💪
You got the true meaning of it, anything that happens to them automatically affects you
Yes it does, that is why sometimes it's a blessing, sometimes a curse haha.
Yeah, either ways💪.
We pray for more good to happen
YESS SIRRR 🔥
Phew, I tried saying it out loud, and the plagiarism police did not show up! I guess you really meant it when you said it was okay. 😉😁
I love this phrase, and the story behind it. Thank you for sharing this great morale boost of a phrase with us!
Hahaha😂😂😂
We're coming for you today, just watch out🚕🚕🚕
Thank you so much dear 🥰
I could remember the day you tell me once I am fine you are fine😂😂. I loud out loud and said I am not fine to see your response😂😂. So it's a trick😂😂.
Lol😂
But on a truth stand,
The few times you haven't been well, I do feel it here 🥰🙈. Sometimes I do have small small pains on my stomach cos you're not fine😂
I really love this phrase and it's actually catchy.
These words hold even much more meaning than when they're taken at face value. It's show's no matter what the person is going through you're willing to share in their burden or their wins
You're willing to be vulnerable with them in their vulnerability, be happy in their happiness.
Beautiful words my friend. I'm glad you came up with it.
You said it all bro!
I can't consider myself FINE when the other person is being feasted with hurts.
Thank you for stopping by
This is a brilliant phrase with a touching past, we can agree that is it indeed a million-dollar response. How kind of you to offer it for free. :)
This was a very fun read, which brought us a beautiful insight into who you are. We would like to suggest that you utilize Google Documents however, to double check your punctuation. This is a fantastic story, that could use just a small touch of brushing up.
Thank you for sharing your story with us, and for your engagement with other members of the community.
