Something is going on in this blog’s stats. I have only posted 2 posts this year, and the stats are going wild. I have no idea where they come from. I have blogged for 13 years (14 this year), and I have never had so many views in a month. It’s so splendiferous. Whatever the reason, it’s a record.
2026, monthly stats.
2026, average daily views
Most views are from the USA. In December 2025, there were 1.3k views. Now suddenly it’s overflooding. The most views were 1.2k, which was in 2022. Other times, the average is under 600 views.
The Internet is a strange place. You try hard to get views on different platforms, and this happens. You don’t know if it’s bots or a visit from real people. You never know. It feels like bots are the only ones who are being counted. I don’t know what the sudden interest in this blog is all about.
Perhaps it’s also bots who follow this blog. You never know.
Everything I do, or try to do, feels like Mission: Impossible. My goals for the year are already slipping away. One of them is keeping up a social media posting schedule; I should have posts lined up in my calendar, but I haven’t gotten anything done (only one). This month is going by so fast. It’s almost the middle of the month, and it’s only a matter of time before the month is over. It wouldn’t matter if I were writing about daily things, but when it comes to writing texts for finding paying clients, so I can become an entrepreneur. The years seem to begin the same way. I have hopes and dreams for that year, but suddenly it’s April. I thought 2026 would be my year. But that’s what I have been telling myself for years.
Sometimes it feels like I have ADHD, but in my head. I have so many things I want to say, or in my case, write. But you can’t say everything at once. Dealing with different subjects in a short period of time doesn’t work. I want to share my thoughts about different things. My brain is like a high-speed internet connection, but the delivery is on dial-up. If the Internet didn’t exist, I would write in a diary as I did before. Some days I wonder if people like my posts only because of the image, or if they actually read the text. Sometimes when I post, I get a like a little too quickly, especially if the text is long. No one can read that fast! Despite that, I keep writing because I know there is always someone out there who appreciates a long read.
I write my thoughts on different things on my mobile or Google Docs, but then I try to write about one subject, even getting help from AI, I still get a feeling I need to say everything at once. I need to learn to be patient and keep in mind that I don’t need to write and share things all at once. Then it might not be a mission impossible, and the stress won’t exist.
My Christmas present is to be present. I have only 24 posts on this blog in 2025 (this is number 25). I won’t make any promises, but hopefully there will be more than that in 2026. It depends on how next year goes. I don’t make New Year’s resolutions because most of them never happen. E.g., if I say I would eat less candy/sweets. Will it happen? No. The same goes for anything. You shouldn’t promise things you can’t keep. You’re lying to yourself and others if you do.
It’s Christmas, and you should be present. So no Internet or social media. If you have a family, spend the holidays with them and not your phone. Stay safe and relax. Christmas is only once a year, Father’s/Mother’s Day is every Autumn/Spring.
