Sometimes, blog statistics and the rhythm of writing aren’t about numbers at all — but about feeling.
This week, I’ve started to understand how my blog lives a life of its own — breathing, growing, moving on waves I no longer try to control.

Blog Statistics and the Rhythm of Writing – When the Blog Finds Its Own Voice
Something shifts when we dare to let go a little.
This week, I shared gently.
The PERMA model and the body-centered perspective in everyday life was posted once — and then allowed to rest.
But Dreams and Self-Reflection – When Life Becomes Learning got to travel a little further.
Perhaps because it reminded me of something essential:
When theory meets feeling, something real begins to happen.
And it did.
The Blog in Motion – and Google Comes Visiting
I can see now that the blog carries itself.
It moves — almost like a living being.
When I looked at my stats this week, I saw something that made me smile:
Google had found its way here — for real.
Over the past few weeks, 180 people have arrived through Google searches.
They searched for comfort, well-being, NPF, reflection — and somehow, they found me.
It feels almost unreal to think that my words find their own way out into the world.
That the blog has begun to speak with its own voice — and that Google has started to listen.
But it didn’t happen by chance.
It came through exploration, learning, patience — and a quiet curiosity about how things truly work.
In that process, I realized that knowledge doesn’t have to be hard or cold.
It can be soft, human, and alive.
When Technology Meets Emotion
Sometimes it’s enough to simply float along — like when I swim in the lake.
The water moves gently around me, the sound of ripples merging with my breath.
And suddenly, everything becomes one — me, the water, and the moment.
It might sound strange to say this in a post about Google and statistics, but that’s how it feels:
The blog floats on the waves and basks in Google’s light.
It’s not the numbers that matter most — it’s the knowing that my words can be found.
That someone, somewhere, might search for exactly what I wrote in a quiet moment — and find it.
Blog Statistics and the Rhythm of Writing – Google on a Visit
This week’s stats looked much like before:
Daily views, readers from Sweden, the U.S., Ireland, and Australia.
But what matters to me isn’t the number — it’s the rhythm.
It lives.
It breathes.
And I’m beginning to understand how it all connects.
I learned that Google finds my blog through something called a sitemap — a map of everything I’ve written.
Each time I click “Publish”, a little signal is sent out:
“There’s something new to read here.”
It feels a bit magical.
Maybe that’s what I love most — that technology doesn’t have to be stiff or sterile.
It can be poetic.
It can breathe.
Blog Statistics and the Rhythm of Writing – Not Just Numbers
I’ve been blogging since 2009.
You’d think I’d know all of this by now — how Google finds posts, what a sitemap is, how analytics work.
But the truth is, I’ve spent more time writing than measuring.
More time telling stories than counting them.
And maybe that’s why I still love it — because even the numbers now feel alive, like proof that my words are moving out into the world.
Perhaps there are others who feel the same.
It takes time to understand how far our words travel, long after we’ve written them.
Maybe that’s why I still blog — because every time I think I’ve understood it all, something new appears to be learned — in writing, and in life.
FAQ – About Blogging and Endurance
How long does a blog usually last?
Most blogs live between 6 months and 2 years. Many start with inspiration, then fade when time or direction runs out.
How many bloggers keep writing after five years?
Only about 5%. Those who do often write from an inner need — not to chase followers or numbers.
What do long-term bloggers have in common?
They’ve found their rhythm. They write when something needs to be said, not when a schedule demands it.
They let their blog grow with their life.
Do you ever “finish” being a blogger?
Not really. Writing changes as life does. It’s the journey, not the destination, that keeps you going.
How long have you been blogging, Carina?
I started in 2009 — and sixteen years later, I’m still here.
That makes me proud.
Because with ADHD, where focus often shifts quickly, this is something I’ve carried with me all the way.
Maybe this is where my flow lives — in words, in rhythm, in the act of writing myself forward.
And maybe it connects with my studies in counselling.
Because both writing and therapy are about words — presence, listening, and language that can bring change.
Your advice to others who want to write for years?
Write when you need to, not when you should.
Let your blog be a place for breathing, not performing.
Follow what feels true — that’s where your direction lives.
I believe blog statistics and the rhythm of writing both tell the same story — of movement, presence, and life.

When Words Become Breath
I think I’m beginning to understand what this is all about.
To write, to read, to breathe — they all belong together.
Words have followed me for sixteen years, but only now have they started whispering back.
They’ve become my way to live, to listen, to understand — the world, and myself.
Maybe this is what it feels like to truly breathe.
Not because you must, but because you want to.
AHA
I realize that I’ve arrived — to the place where I begin to see how everything connects: words, technology, and trust.
I want to keep exploring, but at my own pace.
Not to perform — but to learn, in my rhythm, in my language.
Between the Lines – Where I Live
There’s a quiet pride here.
A feeling that I finally see the fruits of everything I’ve built since 2009.
I’m learning, understanding, still growing.
Maybe this is my way — never finished, always becoming.
“Yesterday has already settled into history, tomorrow waits a little further ahead.
But right now — this is where life happens.”
