Hello? Is Anyone Out There? (Or Am I Just Yelling Into the Internet Void Again)

 So, quick question—hello? Is anyone out there?

Like… genuinely. Blink twice if you’re reading this. Clap if you believe in blogging fairies. Leave a breadcrumb trail in the comments if you’ve made it this far and haven’t been distracted by a TikTok of a dog playing the piano.

Because honestly? Sometimes writing a blog in 2025 feels like throwing glitter into a black hole. Yes, it’s sparkly and magical and I’m committed to the bit, but… does the glitter ever come back? Do you see the glitter? Do you appreciate the glitter??


That brings us to this week’s theme:
“Creating When You Feel Like No One's Watching”
(AKA: Channeling your inner drunk Shakespeare in an empty dive bar.)

Whether you're an actor waiting on callbacks, a writer refreshing your inbox, or someone who reorganized their spice rack alphabetically and wanted applause—this one's for you. Sometimes it feels like you're performing for a crowd that ghosted before Act I even ended. But guess what? You keep going. You fake the audience until you book the ovation. You blog into the abyss. You rehearse like Netflix is about to option your life story. Why? Because silence doesn’t mean failure. It means they’re lurking. Probably. Hopefully. Maybe just quietly stalking your brilliance while eating a bagel.

Confession Time:
I started this blog thinking it would instantly catch fire and take off like one of those “day in the life” reels—but with less latte art and more late-night spiraling. But here I am, a few posts deep, shouting “HELLO??” like I’m trapped in a haunted house of unread drafts and ghost followers. I check the analytics like it's a Magic 8 Ball:

  • “Are people reading?”

  • Outlook not so good.

  • Should I keep going?”

  • Signs point to wine.

And yet—I’m still here. Why? Because the work matters. Because your voice deserves space. Because someone, somewhere, might stumble on this blog at 2 a.m. while crying into a pint of Ben & Jerry’s and say, “Same, girl.”

Also, because therapy is expensive and blogging is only emotionally draining.

Creative Dry Spells & Wi-Fi Ghosts
Let’s be real: it’s demoralizing to pour your heart into something and get zero reaction. No “likes,” no comments, not even a weird bot saying “DM for collab.” That’s how you know it’s bad—even the bots ghosted me.

But here’s the thing: you keep showing up anyway. Because it’s not really about the likes (okay, it is a little), but mostly—it’s about the doing. You’re training your creative muscles. You’re building something. You’re whispering to the universe, “I’m still here, I still want this.” And that, my friend, is badass.

This Week’s Amazon Rec:
Because even when no one’s listening, you should still look fabulous, I present:

Let That Sh*t Go: A Journal for Leaving Your Bullsh*t Behind and Creating a Happy Life (Zen as F*ck Journals)

Because sometimes the only way to move forward (creatively or otherwise) is to rage-write your feelings and then zen the hell out. This journal is like therapy, but cheaper and with way more asterisks. Perfect for letting go of self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or that one casting director who “loved your energy” but ghosted you anyway.

Conclusion:
If this post made you laugh, cringe, or whisper “same” under your breath—don’t leave me hanging in this echo chamber.

“Acting Like You Know What You're Doing (Spoiler: You Don’t)”

You ever walk into an audition room, callback, workshop, self-tape setup, or even a community theatre potluck and think: "Wow. Everyon...
