I Keep Checking my Stats and hating myself... Who Cares About Stats Anyway? Well, I guess I do because I keep looking at them. Numbers. You know, Google Analytics, Subscriber count, Followers… did someone put a heart on it? I checked my stats again today. Minutes ago. I don’t like doing it. I don’t recommend it. It just kind of… happened. Like when you open the fridge for the fifth time, hoping something new will appear. Except instead of leftovers, it's disappointment, insecurity, and a vague desire to delete everything and move to Alaska. I thrive best hermit style. That’s a shout out to Bjork. Anyway, the views or sessions or whatever seem to be going backwards. The likes, fewer. The subscribers, static. A shrug from the algorithm gods. And then the thought, quiet but mean, snuck in again: “Why do I keep doing this if no one cares?” ⬇️ ⬇️ (read more) https://seeimagery.substack.com/p/i-keep-checking-my-stats-and-hating

I can relate to this SO MUCH! What makes it even harder for me is that since I opened my online shop and I studied SEO/etc, I've learned numbers make a diference on sales and I need that. Once I disappeared from all socials (I was a resident at a Buddhist temple) and my sales went to zero. People buy "the artist" not just the art. So, on top of our own need of validation, the numbers affect the income and that is where it hits me the hardest.

I don’t waste my time with that kind of activity, especially if it would bring me down. What I do instead is trying to find ways to connect, contribute, collect and exchange. I prefer to be active and do things vs waiting for thing to happen or people to notice me. Carpe diem fam 🤙
