Someone asked the other day, what do you want from life? Almost a week later, and I don't know. I used to think a big house, new car, lots of stuff, but now I'm struggling with the need for streamlining in my life. I am cutting back on everything, and I know it will make me happier than a stack of bills and invoices.
I occurs to me that whatwas appealing in my youth may not appeal to me as an adult or may actually be repulsive. I always concentrated on the material and not the emotional, or human needs. I regret not being more loving, more passionate, more open. How do I change this? I want to be a man who can express feelings and be a hugger, but I am still stone cold and not even very nice.
I pledge to all who read this to not be that guy anymore. I will try to be human and supportive. I think this is the way to happiness, not necessarily for everyone, but perchance for me PEACE

That's a very moving blog. Express feelings--you just did. I, personally, express my own feelings in writing much better than in person--though I'm a big hugger. Still, when it comes to how I really feel, deep down, that goes to my writing. Since I know this about myself--I write notes to people. I don't do it all that often, so those who know me know, when they get a note or letter or such from me, I'm opening up. They've all come to respect my way of communicating. If talking it out doesn't do it for you, it's a matter of finding a way of communicating that does work for you and does get at expressing these feelings and showing love, pasion, etc. It may be writing, it may be some other method. I respect your desire to find out. You have my best wishes and hopes.
I came here to crack a joke about Hot Rod magazine as a bathroom read, but what you said in your blog seemed more important to me.
