Steve,

You do contribute, friend. More important than bringing any “special wisdom” or whatnot, bringing what you have is always what’s needed. Even when its problems you need help with! Consider that you have the courage to say what is there for you, what you’re looking at. You’re not the only one looking at those things, so as you express even your confusion or need for help, it helps others feel less alone.

Consider, for instance, how many others may read these threads and feel like they can’t contribute something meaningful. You bring it up, with courage, and right off help them feel less alone. And, the community grows a little brighter… even though it was a question, not an answer! And then, it also opens a road for those that have worked through a similar discontent to respond with their ideas! See? There is only contribution. Great work! 🙂

With warmth,
Matt
