Hi,
I had the same problem that you had. I looked back and thought what happened to me? that me that I liked. Luckily I've had a lot of time to myself. And am starting to see when a lot of things changed me as a person. I think if you want to be the person you used to be you're going to have to do a lot of deep soul searching. Spend some time alone. Just yourself. Go to the park pick a bench and just think.
Think about when you really started to see yourself change. We're there any specific events that caused a dramatic change for you? When did you first start feeling stressed. What factors in your life have changed to cause stress. Sometimes for me I try to look back and at a time when I was truly happy. And when I think that changed. You can bring a journal if you want. And write about specific memories that jump out at you or an experience that could have had something to do with you going from deep to vapid. It might be a long process but once you figure out and deal with whatever changed you, It will be worth it.
Good luck.

I Am I Was
I don't know who I was anymore only who I am. I see clearly what you were, shame on me for changing that when I am so thankful for what you made me.
I hear so often how short life is, yet, I feel its length. I have lived two lives within the span of one, what I was and what I am. I have been lifted up by your truth, your innocence and benefited in your pain. Your simplest beauty seen deep within your eyes, so often hidden by humility and lies, once told twice believed. Your brilliance seen by oh too many few, clearly seen in photographs, most forgotten, I recognize now.
Could I give it back or must it remain wrapped within the confines of my mind? Such a gift given should not be taken. This life I live in recognition, in remembrance, in shame for what I have taken hoping well to give enough in return, knowing too well, two lives to be not enough to give what I have taken.
Rick Gilbertson
Depth comes from thinking about what is important, not, "how will I fix my hair today", or, "where will I apply for a job today."
If you're thinking about, "what do I want to do with my life", or, "what is life about". that requires you to think deep thoughts.
Believe it or not, but when I was your age, I couldn't write a poem to save my life, (some would say I still can't), it wasn't until I set my spirit free and my wife had much to do with that. Poems are but a single thought brought into clarity.
What you write is not important, just write, if it has meaning to you, it will have meaning for others.
Read stories that have depth, try "The Vegetable Stand" by Rick Gilbertson. Go to Iuinverse, you can read a bit of it there. If you want to think deep, you need to find things that help you get there. Stop listening to music so much, it has a tendency to make you stupid.
Fly free good spirit, prioritize your life and what is important, there is your first category for deep thought.

It's hard to answer questions like this because it's different for every one. Try listening to your feelings. If you're stressed, you're stressed. That's emotion - that's you. Try going for walks now and then - without listening to music or talking to people. Just you and you're thoughts. You will be aware of you're perceptions of things and can ask yourself why they are the way they are. You will learn about yourself.
Watching the sun set takes about 5 minutes. It's insipring, thought-provoking and quite relaxing. Great for help writing poetry.
Meditation is the other thing. Try it, there are classes but you might find it easier doing it by yourself. Look it up on the internet and give it a go.
