Thanks Maha.
As i was coding, a number of questions came to mind:

1. Are my codes/words mean the same thing to others?
I guess this is a standard question for any coding process.

2. How can i clarify what i mean by those codes?
Do you have like interrogation sessions? I am wondering if a) coding the reflection of others, and b) being interviewed/interrogated would help to clarify my thoughts? Or would they lead to different things. It is kind of scary. Or perhaps it is ‘uncertainty’. And now that others have coded, and i have seen their codes, would my coding of their work be biased? Or would it be something else.

I am entirely new to this.

“I wonder if others, like me, found themselves reflecting on their own experiences as they read the narratives of others?”

yep!

I would be kinda sad if we arrived at a common set of codes haha but then again that is what is expected (by others)?
