Surface level conversations.

I get it, they’re needed all conversations can’t be deep all of the time.

But honestly, saying the same old conditioned things and receiving the same old conditioned responses can get boring fast.

We can’t live in a world where we only have deep conversations, I understand that.

But I much prefer, those conversations that you get completely lost in.

You know the deep, spontaneous, Dionysian type.

I find the problem in the uk where I live is that we have the stiffer upper lip mentality.

Which results in us being afraid to actually let our true selves out of the bag.

Because we’ve kept them hidden for so long.

Emotions are human. And if they’re human they shouldn’t be shoved aside.

Imagine if you held in your bowel movements all the time. You’d explode.

Is the stiff upper lip mentality really that resilient, if it comes from fear of not showing others your true self?

I think not.
