Why I Still Blog (Even Though Nobody Reads Anymore)

Let's be honest. Nobody really reads blogs these days. People scroll. They tap a photo, maybe drop a heart, and they are gone in two seconds. I get it. I do the same thing half the time.

I see my own numbers too. Some posts sit there for a week with, like, six views. And three of those are probably me checking if the formatting looks okay.

And look, I am not exactly consistent either. If you scroll through my post history, you will find months, maybe even years, where I wrote nothing at all. Too lazy, or I just lost the appetite for it. It happens.

So why do I keep coming back to this? Good question. I ask myself the same thing.

Part of it is the few of you who actually read to the bottom. I do not know who you all are, but you are out there, and honestly that is enough for me. A few real readers beat a thousand scrollers any day.

Part of it is just that I like it. Writing stuff down is fun for me. Weird hobby, I know.

Part of it is that it clears my head. I sit down stressed and stand up a little lighter. Cheaper than therapy and it usually works.

And part of it is that somebody should remember the small stuff that happens around here. Bogo and the towns nearby move fast and forget faster. There are others like Bogophoria doing it too, thankfully. Might as well be me adding my share.

So yeah. Nobody reads blogs anymore. Cool. And sometimes I disappear for a while too. But I always come back. I am still gonna write them.

See you in the next post. Whoever's still here.
