I was just thinking how often we don't talk with our friends about how we feel about them and appreciate them.

Lately I've been pondering that.

It's probably stereotypical to say that men have a hard time with sharing their feelings. Maybe it's difficult for everyone. Or maybe it's just me.

I'm always very logical in how I think and act. I'm trying to be more "normal". I usually don't factor my own feelings into most decisions. Why do I want to be normal; is there such a thing as being normal? I guess we too often do things to make others like us more.

We try to be someone for everyone else. But what do you do when you don't know who you are? It seems a lot of people don't know who they are, which is why high-school guidance counselors are able to keep their jobs. Admittedly, high school is a confusing time for everyone. Everyone is just trying to fit in and be what their parents want them to be... or just not caring at all.

So at what point does a person know who they are and what they should do with their life? How do you factor out making others happy so that decisions are for your own best interest?
