When I share something on someone else's thread, it is precisely because something that they have shared resonates with what I feel or have felt in the past. That is the ultimate validation, IMO. I also make the assumption that when someone shares here, they are looking for experiences of others who have been where they are, and how they got through it. Possibly a wrong assumption on my part, but take what you like and leave the rest. My intent is to share how I have been there, done that, and the work I did to get where I am now.
