You know how when you first meet a new person they are all bright and shiny and interesting and they think you are all bright and shiny and interesting.. and then.. after a while, you become just a background piece of scenery in their life.. they want you there.. they like you and all.. but they don't really talk to you anymore or make direct eye contact. It's like they stop seeing you as a person. You're more like a pet.
I hate that.
I want sincere, being in the moment people-ness. Tuned in. Paying attention. Interacting on purpose. Seeking each other out due to a mutual desire to spend quality time together.
It seems like life is so full of busy-ness and constant demands on our time and attention that the sincerity of interpersonal relationships has taken a flying leap into the toilet.
It bums me out.
