Two minds, One body

Sometimes I feel like I have two personalities. Not in a schizophrenic way, but more in a sense that I'm composed of two different levels. But only certain people can make it all the way down the stairs to the second level.  Or maybe it's that I subconsciously choose who to show the second level to. I'm not 100% sure, but I know that the vast majority of people don't see past the surface. The unfortunate part of this is that my levels aren't evenly composed. 

The surface level is composed of: Things I enjoy to do, like partying, playing music, snow boarding, and any other habits I might partake in. Stuff like this, plus the ways that I interact with people make up the surface level.

The lower level is composed of: My beliefs, the way that I think, the way I read people, and the way I look at things.

Nothing bothers me more than when people think I'm simple. In fact, I don't even know how I give people that idea.... I don't feel like I come across as simple, or stupid. For example, just the other day a friend of mine asked me to give her an honest opinion about a poem she wrote. I picked the poem completely apart and told her what I got out of it. Which included a detailed description of her personality and personal issues. Simply by reading a poem. She really liked that I'm someone who "gets" her. And she's someone who "gets" me. 

We talked about this for a while, and got on the topic of her actually striving to "get" me. She told me I'm a very mysterious person, who just keeps getting more complex. But alas, people don't take the time to notice.

Maybe everyone is like this?  I like to think that way for more than one reason. The first being this: The more I think about the people in my life at the moment. The more I realize that the vast majority of them are people that I didn't expect to ever speak to again after highschool. And most of the people I thought would be around forever aren't around anymore. On the surface, this seems completely unrelated. But the people that are still sticking around are ones that see past the surface level, the ones who can realize there is more to me than what meets the eye. Of course there are still some of the ones who can't see past what meets the eye.  But these people are new, people I've met in the last few months. 

So if everybody feels the same way as I do, than it would make sense to me. Because you're going to surround yourself with people who can understand and relate to you on every level. The others will just fall by the wayside in time. So the people who still talk to you, and that you still talk to are people who feel the same way toward you. You're one of the people that can see through the surface. But the people who fell by the wayside are people that you can't see through the surface of. So they left you as time went on and surrounded themselves with people who they could relate with.

I'm not even sure if any of this makes sense, but these are my thoughts today. I'd love to hear your opinion and even how you feel about this.
