Is my wordpress public?

I created this wordpress account since 2016 and have been struggling with the settings of the account since. I have already started writing and publishing my short thoughts. I have no idea if I am setting up my account properly. I do not know if anyone is able to read my post. I have seen any views on them. I do not know what i am doing incorrectly. I need some assistance plz.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Everyone with internet access can view any public wordpress.com hosted site. They type the URL into their upper browser bar and click.
Or you could set your site as private https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/ and then issue invitations only to those you wish to view it.

WordPress.com automatically supplies sitemaps for our blogs to search engines – we do nothing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/#xml-sitemaps-for-search-engines
Search engines aren’t attracted to sites that are page based. Sites that are post based where publication of posts, not pages is frequent are more attractive to them. To gain search engine attention, I recommend that you start publishing posts (not pages) https://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/ frequently.
