People do care ✍️
Before I joined Blaugust, I was neglecting my blog. I wanted to write and update it, but made excuses doing other things. However, one thing I still did (with my background as analytics manager and data geek) was looking into the data of my website. And as expected, my inactivity was reflecting in my data.
I know it's all a bit vanity, these views and likes. I don't blog for others. I do it for myself. It's a place to express myself.
But, still, I also feel my blog is a way to connect with others.
And how could I connect with or reach others if nobody visits my blog?
Or that is what I thought.
But I was wrong.
Ever since I wrote about my inactivity and reasons to join Blaugust, I've had replies, mails and messages via different channels.
They were heartwarming.
There are people reading and there are people who care.
So if you're writing and might feel your shouting into to void. Don't. There will always be someone reading, someone you might inspire or someone who might feel the same.
Just write, and people will show they care.
And that's what I did. I wrote.
For 11 days straight today.
It feels great every time I hit that publish button. And even more knowing the support I have from others.
Thank you for showing.
