"Greetings from France, especially from Brittany where I enjoy the beginning of spring with full of yellow narcissus everywhere. Well, I read Withering Heights some time ago and also cause I never wrote a poem on a postcard, well I don't know exactly but I feel in the mood to write you the first lines of this one:The night is darkening round me
The wild winds coldly blow;
But a tyrant spell has bound me
And I cannot, cannot go."
"Unfortunately my life has nothing sexy or sassy to offer at the moment, but I feel some kind of spring fever coming up, which is good, because a life without passion is worth nothing! A friend of mine (she's 34) had an affair recently with a 26-year old one ... and there seems to be a generation gap already, as he was shocked she wasn't shaved, because obviously this is expected by 'younger' people these days... she was shocked as well."
"What Iknow about love is that you can't always be with the one you love! But then maybe it wasn't meant to be... and you are a better person for having them as a friend!"
"What I know about love is, I know nothing! I do know if you are lucky enough to find it, you should cherish how lucky you are."
"This is a picture by my favorite painter - Marc Chapall. As for love, I absolutely agree with a quote that says: All love that hasn't friendship as a base, is like a mansion built upon sand."
"I'm an old lady from Finland with 2 children, 4 grandchildren, dogs and one husband. However, I think I know something about love, because I have lived with a strange man and my husband asked me back. Good or bad? I don't know but now my lovely husband has some reason to be angry... ha-ha-ha."
"I've been with my boyfriend for almost three years but yesterday I realized that my feelings for him are a lie and that I've been in love with another the whole time... I feel utterly hopeless at the moment but I'll hold hope I'll work it all out."
"Hi! Couple of months ago, I found out that one of my internet friend is a Muslim. Since that I have lost numerous wrong believes. He opened my eyes to see that not everyone hast he same view to the world."
"My name is A and I'm 26 years old.Have a wonderful summer..."
- I like sex toy parties :-)
- I wish that I'll meet "P" again this summer (he lives 10,000kms from here)
- Love is so complicated... but I love to love :-)
"Hello, my name is S. I am 42 years old and I work as a nurse. I am divorced. No love interest at this time but I hope to find love again one day. I'm having 'teenager' problems with my 17 year old son who I love more than anything in this big brutal beautiful world. I'm mostly happy yet sometimes lonely. All the best..."
"-3 degrees Celcius. Snow & Ice
I'm an 'ordinary' woman, 41 years old and a mother of two girls. I'm getting fatter every day and I just feel like Miss Piggy on this card. That is maybe because I am not at all interested in sex anymore, especially not with my partner who acts like a pig. And to compensate I eat and eat and eat and eat... I feel caged in, in a trap, where I can't get out. I'm desperate and hoping for Spring and Sun and then everything will be better. We have snow since Christmas now. That is beautiful but also it makes one stay at home even more. Sorry for this moaning, just think of it as all made up. Best wishes...."
"The text on this card (Wish you were here) is wrong. It should say 'I wish I was there.' At the moment, I am working as a nurse in the cancer clinic of ... Hospital. I enjoy my job a lot but the salary could be better. Life is a bit of a struggle at the moment as my man isn't working because he can't speak the local language more than about 10 words and he is on sick leave after having a prostate cancer operated about a month ago. So all costs of living are on my shoulders. Well, at least I can afford postcrossing. Take care, best wishes."
"I think love is being attracted to a person and finding him/her as a best company. No, wait. I guess it's not all. You also need to know the person quite good, that it wouldn't be loving an illusion. And.. I think it is not only about giving, but also about receiving, cause that's how I understand connection. So in this case, I haven't loved anybody. Because I am not special enough for the special people I like. So that's all! Take Care!"
"Yogurt choses the morning spleen
When it fails, consider a dram.
If you want your life to be clear
Just don't give a damn.
Words are twisted before your eyes
but the burden of them is still yours
Promise not to increase the lies
bar and lock your doors.
God is listening from above
but it's quiet inside, and bleak
Don't increase the sorrow
'Come, come whatever you are, it doesn't matter whether you are an infidel, an idolater or a fire-worshiper.
Come, our convent is not a place of despair. Come, even if you violated, your swear a hundred times, come again.'

Hi Jennifer
It is a day after Christmas and we have 10 inches of snow. Brr... cold, too!
My name is R.B. I love listening to music, dancing, reading, going to movies and shopping.
Sometimes I wish I could be a fairy. They are so cute. A fairy like "Tinker Bell" from "Peter Pan" and go around spreading sparkling, and glittering fairy dust over children and making them learn to become fairies. I have seen a bunch of fairy movies and it has always blown my mind how they do that.
Happy Postcrossing! R.B.
People actually write all kinds of things. The most boring people write simply: "Happy Postcrossings." But now and again you get some good ones. So that's what I'm going to share. The interesting messages scribbled on backs of cardboard I get from strangers.
"I am a 25 year old Canadian/Australian doing volunteer work with refugees from Burma in Thailand. I would love to hear from the world, from someone with imagination, with questions to ask and smiles to give.
Not that this should cramp your style, but if you can't think of something to write (and please tell me something not on your profile), you could try:
- something saucy/sexy/sassy
- a dream/memory/wish
- a poem/philosophy/pondering
- what you know about love "
