Here's the new one.

I hope that by sharing some of it myself, I will be able to help you.

Is "sharing some of it" referring to talking about an experience?

Spoken by Sam?
If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.
