Georgi Dad's Holiday Thoughts , did you just read my mind? ššš¼
āA page that feels like a place rather than a task.ā YES. This. Every word. šš¼ā„ļø
The best decision I made for my page.
There was a time when I paid attention to Facebookās weekly goals.
Publish this many posts.
Create this many reels.
Keep your audience engaged.
Post consistently.
And, of course, there is nothing wrong with any of that. For businesses and creators with certain goals, it can be useful.
But eventually, I realized something very simple:
I didnāt create this page to work for an algorithm.
I created it because I had something to say.
And one of the best decisions I have made during these two years was to stop worrying about whether Facebook thought I was posting enough.
I stopped trying to fill a weekly quota.
If I have something I want to share, I show up.
If I have a story, I write it.
If a photograph makes me think, I talk about it.
If I have nothing meaningful to say that day, I donāt publish something simply because a little weekly goal tells me I should.
Because ten posts written just to satisfy a number will never mean as much to me as one post I genuinely wanted to write.
The same happened with reels. I used to think more about what Facebook wanted from me. Now I think much more about what I want my page to be.
And strangely enough, once I stopped chasing the algorithm, I started enjoying my page much more.
It became a place again instead of a task.
A place to write.
A place to share photographs.
A place to think out loud.
And most importantly, a place to connect with people.
That last part matters to me.
I will continue visiting other pages, reading peopleās stories, leaving comments when I genuinely have something to say, and supporting the people whose work I enjoy.
But I donāt do it with the expectation that they owe me the same in return.
I connect with people. People will connect with me if they want to.
And if they want to read something I have written, they know where to find me.
Maybe that is not the best strategy for growing a page.
Maybe the algorithm would give me different advice.
But after almost two years here, I have learned that I would rather have a page that sounds like me than one that performs perfectly for Facebook.
Numbers rise and fall. Algorithms change. Weekly goals reset every Monday.
But the reason I started writing here has stayed the same.
I wanted a place for my thoughts, my stories, and the people who choose to stop by and read them.
And I think choosing that over the algorithm was one of the best decisions I made for this page.
