As 2025 starts packing its bags and edging toward the exit, I decided it was time to look over my website’s yearly stats. Since 2020, I’ve been steadily shaping this little corner of the internet with blog posts, photos, updates, and whatever sparks of creativity refuse to stay quiet. I never aimed for viral fame or digital glory. My only real goal was simple: steady, reliable growth. People finding my site, returning to it, and hopefully getting something meaningful out of it.
The tricky part is that running this place is a true one person operation. I keep the site running. I manage the plugins. I make sure nothing explodes in the background. I write every blog post and as simple as that sounds, trying to be consistently creative is like wrestling a cloud. I also choose, edit, and upload every single photo you see. I work hard to keep the content fresh so nothing feels stale or forgotten.
It’s a lot of work year after year, and I’m grateful beyond words that you visit my small patch of cyberspace. As social media becomes increasingly repetitive and loud, and as AI starts reshaping the landscape in ways no one fully understands, I’ve been shifting more of my energy here. My website. My home base. The one place where everything I create can live without getting swallowed by an algorithm.
And here’s the good news. For five years now, I’ve hit my goal of year over year growth. Five years of building, adjusting, learning, and showing up. And that growth happened because of you. Every click. Every visit. Every moment you spend here makes a difference.
Thank you for being here. Thank you for investing your time in me and in the work I share. You’re appreciated, and you’re loved.
