When Your Blog Doesn't Even Show Up on Google

When Your Blog Doesn't Even Show Up on Google --- 🌙 Hi, this is Alaris. Today, I want to share something straight from my heart. When I first started this blog, my biggest dream was to connect with people around the world. And maybe, if things went well, earn a little income through blogging too. So I kept writing, little by little, day after day. But these days, the hardest part is that there's not just no income — there are literally zero visitors. 😢 At first, I wondered why. That’s when I learned about something called Google Search Console. ⛳ I’m not someone who’s good with computers. I didn’t even know where to start. But for the past three weeks, I’ve been trying — submitting URLs, uploading sitemaps, setting up RSS feeds — doing everything I could think of. And still, my blog doesn’t show up. Honestly, it’s been crushing my spirit. When I first started, I was full of hope. I wanted to share what I was learning about the seven companies I’m studying. I wanted to share o...

Want to Be Happier? Earn $75,000 First – What the Research Really Says

 📝 Title: Want to Be Happier? Earn $75,000 First – What the Research Really Says

Meta Description: Money isn’t everything, but studies show that earning around $75,000 a year might just be the emotional safety line. Let's explore what Princeton and Harvard discovered about money and happiness.

🌿 Hi, it’s Alaris.

Let me ask you a quiet but persistent question today:

“How much do we need to earn to feel truly happy?”

This isn’t about chasing luxury or trying to get rich.
It’s about reaching a point where life feels a little less anxious,
where we can take a deep breath,
and where we no longer feel ashamed to treat ourselves—or someone we love.

So... is there a number?

Actually, science says yes. And we should talk about it.




📊 1. The Princeton Study – Money and Emotional Well-being

In 2010, psychologist Daniel Kahneman and economist Angus Deaton analyzed data from over 450,000 Americans. Their question?

“Does earning more money actually make people happier?”

Their findings?

  • Up to $75,000 a year, more income = more emotional well-being. 😌

  • Beyond that point, emotional happiness plateaus.
    (Although people think they’re doing better, their daily feelings of joy or stress don’t change much.)

They also found that “happiness” comes in two forms:

  1. Emotional well-being 🧠: How happy, relaxed, or stressed you feel day-to-day

  2. Life evaluation 🧭: How satisfied you think you are with your life overall

So yes, $75,000 is a meaningful line—it’s the point where your emotions actually start to calm.




🧪 2. The Harvard Study – Relationships Matter Most

Harvard’s Study of Adult Development began back in 1938.
Over 85 years later, it’s still going, tracking the lives (and children!) of the original participants.

Their guiding question?

“What really keeps people happy and healthy throughout their lives?”

Their answer?

  • Strong, meaningful relationships 💞

  • Not fame, not wealth, not even IQ or social class

  • And—loneliness? It’s as dangerous as smoking or high blood pressure

Robert Waldinger, the lead researcher, said it simply:

“Good relationships keep us happier and healthier. Period.”



 

💡 3. So no—money isn't everything… but it’s not nothing either

These two famous studies teach us something important:

  • Relationships are the long game.

  • But money buys time, stability, and space to nurture those relationships.

That $75,000 line isn’t about living large. It’s about:

  • Reducing stress 🧘

  • Gaining control over your day

  • Having just enough to feel like a person, not just a survivor

It's not luxury—it's dignity.

💛 4. Let’s be honest—getting there isn’t easy

In the U.S., only about 30% of people earn $75,000 or more.
It’s not a given. It takes effort, education, access, and sometimes pure luck.

But here’s the thing:

This isn’t a “greedy goal.”
It’s a self-protective one. A line we can reach for without guilt.

💬 Maybe you’re not there yet. That’s okay.
But getting to that level? It’s worth trying.
Not just for the money—but for the quiet it brings.




🕯️ Final Thoughts – From Alaris

Money isn’t everything. But it’s not nothing either.

That $75,000 mark isn’t just a number.
It’s a symbol—a line of emotional safety, of having room to breathe.

You don’t have to chase wealth.
But earning enough to sleep well at night?
That’s not greed. That’s care.

And wherever you are on the journey—
just know this:

💗 You’re doing better than you think.
✨ And at the end of that road, beyond the numbers,
are the people and moments that truly make life rich.

💭 Alaris’s Note

$75,000… or about 100 million won.
Let’s work toward that together—not because we’re greedy,
but because we deserve peace, choice, and just enough to be okay.

And when we get there…
Let’s not stop. Let’s live.

Vanished Billions – Where Did the Bitcoins Go?

Content: “It was just digital game money to me… nothing serious.” In 2010, James Howells, an IT engineer from Newport, UK, began mining Bitcoin out of curiosity. Back then, Bitcoin was a niche topic — a decentralized digital currency that only a handful of tech enthusiasts knew about. For a few months, he mined casually on his laptop. Before he knew it, he had collected **8,000 Bitcoins**. At the time, they were worth only a few bucks. --- 💻 **A simple mistake, or careless indifference?** Years passed. The hard drive that stored his Bitcoin wallet became slow, cluttered, and, in his words, "useless." So he formatted it. He cleaned it. And finally, he threw it away with the trash. Only later, when browsing the rising crypto market again, did he remember. The hard drive held **8,000 Bitcoins** — now worth over **$400 million**. --- 🗑️ **He knelt at a landfill** The drive had been buried in a massive landfill site. Desperate, he pleaded with the loca...

Is Your Child’s Development Delayed?

Is Your Child’s Development Delayed? Essential Questions to Ask at the Hospital – and a Story from Alaris 👶🏼🩺💭 --- Hi, I’m Alaris. And today, I’d like to tell you a little story. When it rains like this, my heart slows down a little. And I start to think about the quiet worries people carry. Today, I got a call from my aunt — a kind woman who lives in the countryside, someone who’s always soft-spoken, always gentle. She wanted to talk about her grandchild . --- The child is just over five years old. But they’re hardly speaking yet. Still not fully potty-trained. Can’t put on socks by themselves. Can’t draw a circle or stay balanced on one foot. Yet what touched me the most was this: This little one wants to play with friends . Wants to join, to be part of something. But when they try, the way they express themselves is a little clumsy — and that’s when things fall apart. So I said gently, “Let’s visit a big hospital just once. Getting a proper diagnosis is better than just guessing...
