Very well said.  I do not want people to censor their hardships by any
means.  But I think more energy should be given to the rest of the
experience also.  I find it disconcerting, that I can write a very funny
post, an interesting post, or an uplifting post...and get ZERO response.
If I post something that is on the "down side" at all, I get replies
personally and on the fml, negative and positive.  What's funny is more
effort on my part goes into my up beat posts.... I dig more into my heart
for the positive posts.
 
Please don't interpret this as me posting to get responses.  I in fact
would rather NOT get them, as I am very very busy and have enough mail to
handle.  I just, as I said, find it a bit disappointing that people find
the energy and time to post, and to personally reply negatively and often
not positively.
