I don't like to whine, in fact I don't whine. I've just been thinking about something lately and it's been bugging me, it feels almost unnatural. I think it's for the best for all of us that I bring it up. Where have the intimate ideas gone? No… not the dirty kind as my title makes pretty clear. I'm talking about the other intimate ideas. You probably don't know what I'm talking about, I'm sorry I'm talking in vague terms again. Let me try to explain.
I don't feel very connected to people anymore. Maybe I'm weird person but I really enjoy with connecting with people. Ever have conversations with someone that when you walk away you feel some part of your soul has grown and you've discovered some part of yourself you didn't know was there before? I miss that. I don't think it's just me though. I watch people around each other, at school, at work, or at the coffee shop so busy with their lives they've forgotten to let people in. I've always been a little shy but even I can recognize a change in our culture these days. I must remind everyone that it's not weak to connect with people, to share ideas and inspire people. I don't know if I'm the best to offer advice but I do know that this world would be a better place if we shared our hearts to each other a bit more.
I believe the only way to grow as a person is to connect with someone else. Maybe God scattered life's secrets in the hearts of others and the only way to get them is to form a bond of friendship (love) with one another. Just a thought….
I agree, Geoffy. Back home I was really good at creating situation where people were more or less forced to open up to me because those were the only conversations I thought were really worth my while. Since coming to England, being a freshman again, the constant drinking, I don't feel like I really know anyone I live with unless they do some form of art (particularly writing). But in action and conversation, we all just float around not caring about each other. I will be happy to be back, if nothing else, to start living as myself again and not as this (albeit more fun), carefree alter ego.
