In this essay I am trying to use elaborate words and not use run ons.

Hello, what’s up? A sentence dreaded by most. A 3 word statement, deserving nothing but a

simple response. A person could be on their way to find a world changing discovery or simply be going to

play basketball with their friends. However, the response would still be a basic, “nothing.” I want to know

what someone is really doing even if it is just lying in bed binging Netflix. Why have conversations like

this? People stare at their phones for hours on end, just having countless of these dry, dull, pointless talks.

When people choose to have a boring conversation, I become infuriated. If you truly care and

want to talk to someone, wouldn’t you want to put more effort into that person and have a true heart-to-

heart. I want the conversations that make your heart flutter and the ones where when you are talking you

are thinking, I never want this to end. Why be approached with an awkward what’s up, when you can

easily have a real talk. I don’t care that you had a good day, I want the deeper meaning, “Why was it so

good?” “What circumstances took place that made your day so much better?” Tell me all the little tedious

events that occured and the huge, life changing experiences. I want to know it all.

The society has come to a point where talking in person is a big thing and you have to have a lot

of confidence to be able to do that. It should be something simple and sweet. A girl should be able to talk

to a boy in the halls and not be accused of liking them. We should be able to talk to someone of a

different gender about things that have sentimental value to ourselves and it not be unnatural.

Friends. Friends are the people you should trust the most in the world. You should be able to talk

to them when you are sad, happy, and even angry. You can tell them anything and they will listen. If you

are real friends, they would want to hear about why you are in pain. When they ask you how your day

was they want to know what really happened and help you through it.

I however, am a hypocrite. Although I hate these bland conversations it has become a part of my

nature to start talks, in these fashions. There are some people I want to have deep talks with. However, I

do not want to come off as rude or annoying so I just say “What’s up.” Just because I do not have the guts

to say something I really want to know. I want to change but so does the world.

This world needs to learn that we have to take chances. You may be terrified to say or do

something because of the fear of rejection. Rejection is a thing that happens to everyone, it helps

everyone grow and become better people. The fear of rejection is a real life problem that many people of

all ages suffer from. The fear often comes from a lack of self-esteem, people think that if others do not

like them or will reject them then they are not good enough.

What is the problem with one person thinking you are annoying, just because you tried to have a

real conversation? If people do not want to have these talks then they are not your real friends. Not

everyone is going to love you, you just have to let those people out of your life, they aren’t worth your

time. At some point you will find the person that wants to have these conversations with you. It will not

be awkward or weird. These talks are the best conversations you ever will have. You feel as though you

belong and are comfortable. You will realize that the long dreadful hours you spent talking to that person

about “What they did that day,” were pointless. You could have been talking to so many other people

about things that interest you. When you have this true deep talk you will enter a place of happiness, all

the sad thoughts you had will vanish. You will feel the butterflies in your stomach but as it goes on you

will realize… These are the conversations I never want to end.

Reflection: I feel as though I really got what I wanted to get across. I do not thin this is my

best writing, however, throughout quarantine my writing ideas have become very boring because I

have nothing interesting happening. I believe I used some words I would not normally use and tried

my hardest not to have run ons.

I want to write about how these conversations are boring

Then how I have these

Then why we have these

Trace it back to beginning
