If you see that title, you know it is Friday and I came up with a couple of things again. The week was very stressful. I cannot say what it is that stresses me that much right now, but it seems to be a bit of everything. And while I am writing this, I look like hell too… My body decided to give in to the one bug I can usually avoid. Stomach flu. Keep your fingers crossed that it isn’t so… I never had a real stomach bug and this doesn’t feel nice at all. Good thing I had no food today. Anyway… You are not here for my complaints, I hope. You are here for music, photos and whatever else pops into my mind on a random Friday. So… Let’s go.

As you notice there is not much change here. I am beginning to think that there are some regulars out there. Before starting this Friday 5 thing, I didn’t look at the stats much. I saw the rise and fall of numbers, but it didn’t matter. Still doesn’t really. What matters is that my words travel around the world, to places I have never been. My words – little luxembourgish Cathy’s words. Just think about it for a moment, a couple of years ago, it wouldn’t have been possible to share my life, my mind, my creativity, my opinions, with you. All I ever wanted was to leave something behind. To leave a trace that I exist. And this seems to be it. How can I ever explain how grateful I am and how humbling it is?! I don’t write for fame, I write to stay alive. How very dramatic, isn’t it?!

Okay, so here goes… I noticed something. A hitch in my logic of these Friday 5, because… The stats, the visitors, the most read posts… They never take into consideration a weekend. I look at weekly stats – they go from October 13th to October 19th. So, it occurred to me that it is all wrong. And it’s only now that I noticed it. I think I will continue the way I did now, but I am not sure if I can, now that I am aware of it. See? That’s the worst part of overthinking like me. Every thought I have is turned over and over. Often in a matter of seconds. My mind is never quiet. And the older I get, the worse it gets. And maybe this is the way to circle back to the start of this post. I am stressed. And I am doing it to myself.
My resolution for next week: overthink a little less and be less hard on myself. I too deserve kindness.
Have a great week ❤️
