The Calmth of the Snow
Foreword One of 2 translations this week. There’s not much to say about it, as I could repeat forever the fact that I love the music of Unheilig, even without the genius of Bernd Heinrich Graf. So let me keep...
Update January 2019: Payment overview updated with information of December 2018. Secondary Update January 2019: Organization/charity list has had a large update. The idea Close to all websites have ads these days, which is obvious, as ads could bring in...
Foreword This translation is a spur of the moment kind of translation. I was talking with a friend about our favorites songs, and the song was noted by me, after which my friend said there was no translation available, and...
It’s a regular part of pretty much anyone’s life these days, social media. Most of us visit it at least once a day, if not more, far more even. However, you might be surprised about how many people have experienced...
Foreword Being the first to share a translation happens quite often, but the first to share the official lyrics of a song doesn’t. It’s not unique, I did so before, but generally I am not allowed to have this honor....
Foreword The last translation of this year. I saved a beautiful song for this moment. I don’t really know what I can say beyond that… Well, let’s just use the blank space to say thank you to the collaboration known...
Found this while cleaning my folder of unfinished blog posts. I have no clue why I never ended up publishing it. Possibly it has mistakes, as I haven’t confirmed it before publishing, but meh, there is no other English translation...
Bots, bots, and even more bots! That’s actually what social media platforms are about. Just look around you for a moment and you will see many examples of it. To start off, which has been “the hype” these last few...
Ever heard of that saying that we were not born with ignorance, but we were taught to be ignorant? That saying kind of shows ignorance in its own, as it misses the point completely. The reality is that we were...
Urgh… I hate it when I as a non-native English speaker have to educate native English speakers… In this case, made even worse as the origin of the lack of understanding quite likely are non-native English speakers, like myself… I...
As the year is coming to a close, there is still an update regarding my blog. Somehow it has been requested a lot of times, I don’t truly understand why, but still, my contact page now includes postal information. If...
Often while I am online I come across ignorance regarding autism. As someone who is diagnosed with the autistic disorder, often also referred to as classic autism, I am simply not the same as someone with Asperger’s. Seems simple, right?...
As it’s Christmas Eve, it’s likely people are creating beautiful memories, memories some may want to eternalize with photos. I am going to keep this short, as the message is short: “Don’t overly share photos online!” If you wish to...

When looking here at my blog, you would likely not realize I am not yet the age of an adult. Neither possibly while looking at my Twitter profile; as apparently people think politics and social causes are only for those...
Earlier today I posted on Facebook my surprise, frustration, and annoyance of something I discovered through an American friend working at an adoption agency. The fact that the USA currently has almost 120 thousand children looking to be adopted, about...
This post was originally published in the English language. Политика, политика, политика… Вам она не надоела? Пожалуйста, не поймите меня неправильно, политика важна в жизни, но тот факт, что около 100% мира не имеет об этом понятия, раздражает меня …...

Today is World Orphans Day, one of the most important awareness days to me, but also one that makes me realize that the bad in this world is not always created by the ways we suppose. For example, did you...
As the holiday season is coming up again, so will probably there once again be a rise in voluntourism. Like most organizations are already voicing, I call out to not go out to volunteer in institutions, like children’s homes and...
For previous translations, please see: https://snowcalmth.com/my-translations Foreword I am really tired, so I rather wouldn’t have done anything at all for today anymore. However, as it’s just 30 minutes, and was requested by a friend, I kind of couldn’t avoid...
If you know me even just a little bit, or simple checked my “about me” page, you know that the Indian-American artist KSHMR is among my top 5 most loved artists. The main reason for my love is the fact...
Whether you read my blog, you read any of my social media profiles, or have contact with me in any other way online, which quite probably would be through any game platform, the message is the same; From the very...
Today I got a message that my most recent translated songs on YouTube were not displaying correctly. Which is indeed true. While using any Chromium-based browser, like Google Chrome and Opera, to watch my most recent uploads, videos stutter throughout....
“What a child doesn’t receive he can seldom later give.” Ever heard of that quote? It’s quote of British crime writer Phyllis Dorothy James from her book “Time to be in Earnest: A Fragment of Autobiography”. Also, it is among...
During the past night my blog was suddenly offline, and boom, this morning suddenly my blog looks different and has a lot of broken parts. This has happened because of 2 reasons: The first were problems with the host I...
2 years ago, I started my own quest, the quest to get every trustworthy organization listed that is supporting disadvantaged children within the area of Ukraine, and as of 2016 also Russia, and more importantly, that have no connection to...
After all the horrible discrimination I have seen at the USA, I wish I could ask one of those people a simple and straightforward question, which is: “Are you against migrants?” The reason for that simple question is because the...
Honesty, it seems such an easy concept, however, the reality is different. When we look at what truly happens, many of us are not truly honest, not dishonest either, but rather staying in the middle. Which is not that strange,...
Once I was asked “why do you not hate me?”, which is a rather disturbing question to hear regardless, but especially when you are unaware where the question comes from. It’s a question that was asked me a few years...
Over a year ago, I started the fight with anti-institutionalization organizations over the terms “Orphan” and “Orphanages”. An emotional fight, and a fight I didn’t believe I would even have any success at, which I only continued to stand up...
Note: Written in a currently hard time of my life. Because of that I lack focus, and it may have degraded my writing. My apologies if it has. We all think we know… I do, you do, and pretty much...

Ever did a personality test? If you did, it is likely you got a result based on the “big five” principle, meaning you got something like ENFP-T, INTP-A, or ESFJ-T, to name just 3 of the multiple personality types that...
For about a year already, I’m actively fighting anti-institutionalization campaigns who incorrectly use the word “orphanage” instead of “children’s home”. I’m happy that more and more campaigns, charities, and foundations are opening their eyes, and are attempting to use it...
