- Go to Sharing is a Superpower
I love this post. I had to learn about sharing years ago when I lived with trauma daily, and sharing it all helped me get many things into perspective. It was the Canadian police who helped me the most, and I may share that with everyone here sometime.

Good Morning
This is a very thought-provoking post. Thankfully, I didn't have to learn it. I have used my sharing powers for as long as I can remember. I think you are right in describing it as a Superpower.

Sharing is caring. When we are allowed to share, we have that safety and comfort. When we keep it bottled up inside, our bodies produce toxins and we end up dying from the inside so to speak. By not allowing ourselves to blow off steam by talking with a trusted friend, we let our blood pressure rise, causing heart attacks, eat the wrong foods to comfort us . . causing diabetes, etc. I apologize for the rabbit hole, but we do so much destruction to ourselves when we have no one there to listen to us without judgement. I am constantly fighting that stigma because my life has changed so much in the course of 18 years. Life is nothing like when I graduated high school and I did not find the man of my dreams that would swoop up and save me like in the fairy tales. But I digress and also agree that you are on point with this post.

You're 💯on point. Sharing with like-minded people really does help ease burdens, and it is a great source for input. We all have more in common than we think.
