The Joshua Yoder Blog: 3 Year Reflection!

 So here we are folks! Year three, of the Joshua Yoder Blog has finally been completed. Hard to believe to be perfectly honest with all of you because this past year really did not go the way I was hoping it would. The third season certainly was a bit of a drop for me personally.

Coming off of year two of the Joshua Yoder Blog, I was feeling pretty good, my blog had doubled the views it did the year before and my mind was totally blown. I was excited! I mean, for the first time in my life, I felt as though something was heading in the right direction. But then things went south real quick.

For the record, I am simply trying to use my writing as well as my talk show to help build a career for myself. I am not trying to cause any drama or any kind of BS. I just like to write poetry, stories, etc.

As mentioned earlier, things went a little south for me during the run. It started with my Facebook account getting HACKED. For the remainder of 2025 was me losing a source of displaying my stuff and it really killed my momentum. I didn't know what to do, the only other place I had to showcase my stuff was on X(formerly known as Twitter) and it absolutely killed my viewership.

To make matters worse, I was hoping to publish another book of poems in 2025. Only to discover that Amazon was going to make it harder for me to be able to make a profit for my books and I wasn't going to overcharge people for a simple poem book. So I had to hold off from putting together a new one for the time being which I really hope to publish a new one soon.

All of this happening, among other things, sunk me down to a really deep depression and going through the winter of 2025 was not fun to say the least. My body wasn't feeling the best because of the cold weather and I was stressed out on trying to find guest for my show was a nightmare because I lost my contacts due to again, my Facebook being hacked. 

I was getting so depressed that I was having a tough time trying to write anything and it was only sinking me further down. It made me feel so worthless and a failure, I felt as though all my hard work was never going to pay off. I hard a very hard time looking at myself in the mirror some nights because I was so disgusted with myself.

Heading into 2026, I was fighting to get my mind from going any further backwards. I was trying to be more positive in my life. 

Things then started to turn around a bit for me, I managed to complete a goal I had been wanting to do for a number of years now. Which was to donate my hair and I thankfully got to do it. Then a few months later, I discovered that I had gotten my Facebook back which was such a massive relief.

Trying to be more on a positive note, now that my Facebook is back, I plan on getting more stuff out like my poems and stories as well as pushing my YouTube channel out.  Like I said before, I really want to make a career out of this because it has been really the only thing I been good at in my life. And losing the ability to share that with all of you really hurt and still hurts even to this day.

But again, wanting to be more positive, my goal in year number four will be to grow my writing and use my YouTube channel to provide fun conversations with everyday people and hopefully expand upon that. Another fun thing I am happen to announce is that I recently started writing a little blues song that I hope to share with everybody here soon. Despite not having my Facebook for six months, I have continued to push myself with my writing (which hasn't been easy) and express my art to all of my love ones as well as people from around the world which I still find amazing.

First and foremost, Thank you God for helping me through this extremely tough year and thank you to all who continue to read my stuff here on blogger. Here is to making improvements in year four of the Joshua Yoder Blog.

Thank you all for your continued support!

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏
