The Beginning

Audio to the Blog

Hello and welcome to my blog! It's not my first blog, but it's a premiere because it's my first own website. I've been using the Internet for about 25 years and have always gambled with this idea, but other, cheaper (not to say free) options arose. Unfortunately, these disappeared again or were no longer usable. Or life got in the way and put my activities on hold every now and then. And no, I'm not a Digital Native, I was in my mid-forties when the internet came along and I loved it from the start. Because it could fulfill one of my most important basic needs: my limitless curiosity. That's just how it is with an artist's soul, this childlike curiosity, the eternal question of "Why?" requires a lot of nourishment, otherwise life is dark because creativity has no opportunity to unfold. But the Internet had another advantage: it could connect people as quickly as it could deliver information. This is a really great aspect for highly sensitive persons who has extremely great respect for crowds and therefore avoids them.

The first community I was active in was Myspace, and to this day it's the best community ever. There were many options there to design a profile according to your own ideas. I was able to upload and present my painted pictures there and also write a blog. And soon I was in contact with many other people, mostly artists. Looking back, it was a relatively short pleasure, because after a few years the platform was sold, then the conditions and the layout were changed, so that it became completely impossible to continue to operate there as before. Ultimately, it was a good experience to try out how you can present yourself online and what is possible.

Recently I looked at some texts from the past in old folders and decided that I would like to publish some of them again and also write current blogs again. Because nothing has changed from the starting point, whenever I ask “Why?”, I look for information and allow for connections in the limitless universe of thought that can become completely new ideas.
