Life, as they say, has a funny way of throwing curveballs. Mine recently came in the form of an osteoarthritis flare-up, an unwelcome guest that significantly impacted my mobility. While the physical discomfort was a challenge, I found a way to channel that enforced downtime into something productive: writing. For the past three months, I've poured my energy into crafting articles, sharing my life experiences, and, frankly, finding some therapeutic release in the process.
It's been a remarkably
productive period. Forty-two articles. That's a testament to the hours I've
dedicated, the thoughts I've processed, and the stories I've felt compelled to
tell. I imagined these pieces resonating, sparking conversations, and perhaps
even offering a glimmer of understanding to others.
However, the viewing figures
for most of these articles have been… disheartening. A consistent trickle of
less than 30 views per piece. And as I reflect on this, especially at my stage
of life where time is undeniably a precious commodity, I have to ask myself: is
this the most fulfilling way to spend it?
The truth is, at this point,
continuing down this path feels akin to screaming into a deaf person's ear. The
effort is immense, the output is significant, but the impact is, sadly,
negligible. It’s a valuable lesson learned, albeit a slightly painful one. My
energy, my time, and my passion deserve to be directed where they can create
more meaningful connections and reach a wider audience.
Therefore, I've made a
significant shift in my social media strategy. I'm going to be prioritising my
YouTube channel.
For some time now, my YouTube
presence has been a more organic and engaging space for me to share. It allows
for a different kind of connection, a more visual and auditory experience that
I believe better suits the stories I want to tell and the way I want to connect
with you. The thought of creating engaging video content, interacting directly
with viewers, and building a community there feels far more rewarding and,
crucially, more impactful.
This isn't to say that writing
is without merit. For me, during my recovery, it was a vital tool. But as I
continue to heal and my energy levels rise, I need to ensure that my efforts
are contributing to something that truly blossoms.
So, I'm shifting my focus to solely creating content for my YouTube channel. If you enjoy my work, please subscribe – I'd love to see you there! While I may post fewer articles moving forward, YouTube is where I'll be concentrating my efforts.
