BRAVE MONDAY — RIST Self-Help / Mental Health and Views

 Over 50,000 Views in January

Over 50,000 views does not mean that 50,000 people have read this blog.
It means that many paused long enough to open a text.

In a time where most things are simply passed by, that alone is worth noticing.

People do not click on texts about responsibility, loneliness, and apathy by accident.
They do so because something resonates.
Something feels familiar.

Some read a single sentence and move on.
Others stay.
Both matter.

Most of the interest has been Norwegian, roughly 60%,
while around 40% comes from English-speaking readers.
That matters.
It shows that the need for honest language around inner struggle does not stop at national borders.

The numbers themselves are not tracked by me alone.
A sincere thank you to Raymond Andersen for following the data and development.
I, Ken, have limited knowledge when it comes to views, metrics, and statistics,
and I'm grateful for the help.

When texts like these are opened this many times,
it's not a sign of success.
It's a sign of need.

This is not a celebration.
It's a clarification.

The writing continues.
Not to grow faster,
but to remain honest where it matters most.

Best wishes
Raymond and Ken
