I’m not seeing all my friends’ posts!

I hate the way FB choses which posts I see. I usually post inspirational things. Now that’s all I see. I don’t like that! I want to see everything my friends post. How can I change that? I recently tested it. I went to random people, mostly ones I thought rarely posted. I was wrong. FB just has not been showing me their posts. I searched all through settings to change that selection process. I saw it with groups but not people. HELP. I live away from my hometown and far from my colleges. I like seeing random posts from old friends
