Never think what you are writing doesn't matter, if not least for giving you the chance to express yourself and see what you think.
I am learning to re-frame it that way because through speaking out my mind, I got extra courage, affirmation and even feedback from kind people like you Dean. I guess it's normal to think like it didn't matter sometime because our surrounding made it seem like it. The thing is, whatever we shared matters.
It is normal at times to feel insignificant in the middle of the huge world we live in, watching others getting more attention. Just push through it and keep going!
