Alot of what I’m reading is making sense of life lessons or feelings I have had. For instance, verse 10: Each heart knows its own bitterness, and no one else can share its joy. There have been so many times in my life when I know people are not as excited or as upset about a situation as I am. They may even be experiencing the same emotions, but I know it is still different.

Another is found in verse 13: Even in laughter the heart may ache, and joy may end in grief. Put your own experience into that one.
