This is a purely private blog that I write for people who may still think. I’m happy about friendly contacts, but inquiries about whether I’m single or any other sales pitches will immediately be classified as spam and treated accordingly.

Copyrights!
The copyrights of the texts and images belong to me. Many of the graphics used here are partially created with AI assistance, but not all. And even then, this still comes at a cost, and I am not willing to have these graphics used by others without consent. A quick inquiry, a presentation of the intended use, and we won’t have any problems.
As for the texts, I write and conceive these myself. Occasionally, I gladly rely on AI (ChatGPT) for research, translation, and proofreading help, but the creation itself is entirely mine – starting from the original idea to the final wording. The only aspect where AI is involved is proofreading. And even this I don’t use consistently – I make mistakes, but that’s okay. I don’t need to be perfect.
I also use AI for translations. While I can communicate in English, I’m often not absolutely confident due to a lack of practical usage. That’s why I trust ChatGPT’s expertise, as it has – in my experience – a very balanced style of expression, and I assume this applies to every language it supports.
If you like my texts, feel free to quote them on your own website. However, I kindly ask you not to copy them in their entirety. The internet should be about diversity, not duplication! If you’d like to print out my texts and use them for personal purposes – by all means, go ahead! That’s beyond my control, nor do I wish to prevent it. These are stories, and stories are meant to be told.
If you’re a teacher and consider using content from this site in your lessons, you’re, of course, welcome to do so. Education is important, and I don’t want to stand in its way!
That said, I would really appreciate a mention of the source, and, if possible, a link to my website. If your site is thematically relevant, I’d even welcome a link exchange.
What I will not accept is the unapproved publication of my texts and graphics on other media, especially if they are presented as someone else’s work. Particularly if there’s a profit motive behind it! In such cases, I won’t hesitate to take action.
Social Networks
Yes, I’m on Facebook and Instagram. However, this is more of a hobby. I don’t follow random people or pages, only those that personally resonate with me and inspire me. And yes, I could undoubtedly use a little more money, but I’m not selling my soul for it. I also don’t want to waste my time pretending to live a life for the virtual community that doesn’t exist in that form.
My Works
Are my works available for purchase, or do I take on commissions? Currently, for various reasons, no. At the moment, it’s a hobby, and whether or not I sell something depends on how much space I have for the objects I create. Once I begin selling my art pieces and musical instruments, I will announce it on this site and, of course, update the legal information accordingly.
Regarding the objects themselves: These are handmade. These are not items you’ll find on AliExpress or Amazon. If I sell something, it’s guaranteed to be unique. And given the amount of passion that goes into these pieces, the prices will not be negotiable! As for online reviews? Honestly, I’m not interested. I’m an artist, not a businessman.
I will only take on custom orders if you manage to pique my interest!
Donations
You will also find the option to financially support me and my work through a small donation on this page. The funds received will primarily be used to maintain and operate this website, but also to help create additional works.
If you wish to make a small donation, the amount is entirely up to you, and you are free to decide what you’d like to contribute. Regardless of the amount, I am grateful for every bit of support!
Of course, I comply with the applicable tax regulations.
However, for legal reasons, I am unfortunately unable to issue a donation receipt. I’m just a small artist and not a registered organization or anything similar.
