Sometimes you have to pinch yourself. My little blog post about Thåström’s concert in Karlstad has climbed up right next to major newspapers and official channels. It feels both strange and big – and above all, it shows that a personal voice can be heard, even in the noise.

An evening that stayed with me

When I wrote about the concert, it was mainly to capture my own experience. The tears, the goosebumps, that feeling of time standing still. I never imagined the text would end up among Google’s top results – right beside NWT, Tickster, and Thåström’s own page. But that’s exactly what happened.

A small victory for the blog

For me, this is a milestone. Not because I compete with media outlets, but because it reminds me why I write. That a personal experience, told simply and honestly, can actually stand out. That’s magical in its own way.

Between the lines

This post really says that I’m starting to believe more in my own voice. That what I write – no matter how simple – can reach beyond my own kitchen table.

Reflection

Sometimes it’s not the big plans, but the small, honest words that make the greatest impact.
