I love when a post I wrote a year ago suddenly gets a comment or a reaction.

Those are the ones that feel important and genuine because they truly helped someone that was looking.

It also reinforces the idea that the content I write isn't just to get some quick views and forget about. It's there to help others - even if that's only 1 person a year from now.

I agree, it's a great feeling when those posts get recognition after I think they've faded away from timelines. In my experience they often come with a comment and start a conversation which is even better.
