It’s hard to put into words what that really means to me. Especially considering how irregular my posting has been in recent years. Despite the pauses, despite the silences, My Beirut Chronicles kept resonating — with readers in Lebanon, and far beyond.

It’s not a publication backed by institutions. It doesn’t follow trends. It doesn’t seek to please. It’s not lifestyle, fashion, food, or feel-good content. It’s just one voice — mine — sharing thoughts, questions, convictions, and doubts.

And yet, here we are. Six million.

No sponsored posts. No PR campaigns. No paid ads. Just you. Word of mouth. Curiosity. And maybe, a need for something a bit different from the polished noise of the mainstream.

Over the years, the blog kept growing. You kept reading.

My Beirut Chronicles exists because of you.
You read, you shared, you reacted, you challenged me, and in doing so, you kept it alive.

You are the reason this blog exists, and endures.

Thank you. Always.
