please!

So, I haven't written in a while... perhaps it is because I have been too preoccupied with classes and deciding what to do with the rest of my life- do I go for something that I probably won't like but it will get me done faster with a guaranteed job? Or do I shoot for something larger, something that I have no clue but only hope that I will succeed in? So, I am probably being stupid and am choosing the latter- hopefully it will work out in the end. Anyway, I am here to rant a little, as usual.
Something has been very annoying to me lately... And I can't figure out if it is just me being too analytical or if this is really becoming an epidemic. It seems that many of the people that I hold SO dear to me, cannot have an intelligent conversation. Everyone is always so superficial, asking "How was your day?" "What are you doing later?" or "I'm tired." And I admit it! I am guilty of this too sometimes- we don't ALWAYS have to have deep conversations, but sometimes it would be nice not to feel like a robot, going through the same day in, day out routines. These people don't seem to have feelings or emotions or opinions- or perhaps they are just too afraid of judgement to let them out? I WANT to know what is happening inside your mind, your body- I want to understand how you are feeling and what you think about this and what you would do in this situation- but I don't want to have to ask these questions! Let me in!!! Am I being unreasonable? Bear in mind, now, I'm not talking about my classmates or the mail man. I am talking about my friends and family and the people I plan on being with FOREVER- how on earth am I supposed to have surface conversation forever? I want to get on "another level" with these people that I care so deeply about, but is this too much to ask? Isn't that what love is about- relating on another level than everyone else? And anytime a deeper conversation comes up, why must it usually lead to some argument? I have I have not lost you by now, I know this is quite a tangent...
Its funny though. The people I don't know as well and don't really care what they think are the people who I have the best conversations with. Could that be because I know that they accept who I am already, and I the same? For instance, the best conversations in my life have been with my high school Spanish teacher, art teacher, and a friend named Pat I occasionally hung out with. I can be myself around them better than I can around anyone else. People have this perception of me- that I am miss priss, do-good always and with a smile on my face :) Well, I can do good and be classy AND be real and down to earth and spiritual at the same time. My conclusion is either that people just don't know how be to real anymore, or that they don't care to be real anymore. Thanks if you made it all the way through this. Peace!
