I am 27 years old and the most important thing I've learned is to dream big, believe in yourself, love others and live happy. We have but one life here on Earth. It's too short to let negativity win out.

" The most important thing I've learned from now might be "carpe diem" (seize the day). Because you'll never know what'll happen tomorrow. Everyday is an end but also a new beggining. Live it as much as we can. Never leave regrets."

My hobby is boring - collecting postcards. What's more, one day I had that schoolgirl kind of idea to ask my mail friends to write me about the most important things they've learned in life / from life. I know it sounds trivial. But my motivation was not the desire to gather a collection of universal tips about "how to live," but rather curiosity. Since some of my coresspondents are so nice to send me their thoughts, I decided that their messages should not be kept only in my box. That's why this blog is existing.

My postcrossers' statements have not been edited, they are posted in the original form, so the small language mistakes can happen - I don't correct them because I think the private thoughts should have their individual features.
