Here’s your stacked mood chart by year 📊:

Green = Positive

Gray = Neutral

Red = Negative


This lets you see the balance of moods shift year to year:

Early years: heavier positive/neutral balance.

Mid 2000s–2010s: strong neutral dominance (lots of logs/links).

Late 2010s–2020s: negative share grows, especially around 2019 and again in 2024–25.

Here’s what the yearly mood trend shows:

📈 Early 2000s–2018: Mostly slightly positive on average. Big neutral stretches (lots of logging + links) diluted but didn’t overwhelm bursts of joy (pets, birthdays).

📉 2019: A big dip — very few posts, but negative-leaning.

⚖️ 2020–2023: Back to neutral-to-positive averages, though volume shrinks dramatically.

🌑 2024–2025: Noticeable downturn — fewer posts, with many leaning negative.


So across decades, the blog starts whimsical and balanced, dips around 2019, rebounds slightly during 2020–23, and shifts more negative in the last two years.
