Your follower count has never once been mentioned in heaven.

GRATITUDE
Numbers measure reach, not worth. A follower count tells you how many screens a thing landed on and nothing at all about whether you were kind, whether you kept your word, whether anybody is better off for knowing you. It is a real signal about a narrow thing, and it has quietly become the scoreboard people check hourly.
Try a week where you post something and do not look at the count. Pick one measure you would be prouder of instead and track that. Ask who would notice if you stopped posting entirely.
What number about yourself do you check far too often?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
