I Enjoy Meaningful Conversations
Seeing as so many people added this group, you could say that the majority of the population enjoys a meaningful conversation, but the difference being is that for some people that could mean talking about how much they love chocolate and for others whether there's the possibility of alternate realities. In other words; anything could be considered meaningful to discuss or debate.
As I spend time here alone today going through a maelstrom of emotions, I know that there's such a thing as being left with your own thoughts for too long and that engaging with others in meaningful ways is eventually a necessity. The trouble is when you start questioning what exactly you find meaningful, or rather, whether you have enough things in your life that you consider meaningful. How can we find meaningful conversations when we're still trying to decide what that actually means to us?
You could describe it as soul searching and I would assume that finding others that are also soul searching may give the formula for igniting a spark to heat the flames. Some of the meaningful conversations I've had have come from talking to passing strangers just looking to fill the time while they go about their travels and then there's the relationships that last a while. How lucky we are then to find someone we can share that with for a lifetime. Yet the question still remains; what do you do when so much has become meaningless?
I've had a rich past with many different experiences but it's left me wanting and maybe that's simply the nature of being human; we always tend to want more than what we currently have. Yet isn't that how we grow and evolve ourselves? We need to keep feeding the machine so we can strive to be a more advanced version. Continue to be upgraded to meet the times. How do I get my latest upgrade?
I guess all a person can do is to keep putting themselves out there, even when it seems pointless; eventually something has to click and then life won't seem like such a waiting game.
