It is 6:10 am (IST) in tikvah's time zone.
About Me:
33 years old female; originally from Germany, lived in Israel. Currently back to Germany. Miss Israel a lot! :-(, hopefully returning soon! :-)
Currently student. Shy, curious...more in private mail ;-)
Currently student. Shy, curious...more in private mail ;-)
Requests:
Looking for nice female snail mail friends all over the world (including Germany and Israel ;-)).
Also like 1xtime swap viewcards from time to time - if you are interested, let me know! :-)
I have no special requests to snailmail regarding things like the length of the letter (as long as its not only consist of 10 lines; one DINA5 page or the like is not a "real letter" for me, since I really like to have a "real talk" and know more of you and your life! :-). My letters are usually something around from 2-5 A4pages(ore more :-D). I don't mind if the answer takes time, since we all have busy lives; dont care at all if its handwritten or typed, used with stationary, stickers or the like or not! I prefer to leave this on everyones own decision. I know and understand (also from my own experience) that it may not always be possible to provide these things. Vice versa I also would like not to be pushed in using stickers, stationary etc, when I am not always able to. After all the writing itself and getting along together should be more important in my opinion. :-)
What I really would like to have is to write the letters like a real friendship, sharing each others life, based on mutual respect for each others life and different cultures/religions etc. I am religious (jewish), so please accept my way of life, as I am (of course!) willing to accept yours as well and different lifestyles/religions in general! I like the writing kept not like a diary but like a dialogue (means for me asking and answering questions, writing comments on each others letter) and definitely NOT to disappear suddenly; when some problems would occurring, be that fair and honest and let know.
Some people here seemingly like to let them them the first letter and then never answer to it, even not react when being asked, if they received my letter! This is absolutely no-go for me. (Same goes of course with not answering 2nd, 3rd etc letters). In my eyes no respectful treatment, after I took taking my time and money for the letters... there are annoying lots of fakes out here! After occurring this way too often, I decided in the meanwhile to write some E-Mails with new pals first, before starting writing letters. Also, when you ask me to become snailmail friends, expect that you to write the first letter, thanks! :-)
Especially spare your precious time of writing me antisemitic mails/hatred-Mails against Jewish people, Israel or Zionists (yes I am Jewish, yes I am standing behind Israel, yes I am Zionist) I won't neither read nor answer them, have no time to waste with things like that! :D
I do not accept friend requests before we talked with each other. Feel free to send me a message ! :-)
Sorry, besides of cards from time to time also not into swapping anything - besides of swapping of letters ;-)
At the moment E-Mail contacts are also ok, but I am definitely more in writing and receving letters, thats why I created this profile; besides of having no real internet connection in Israel, so E-mails would assumingly answered very slowly (if at all) when I would be there again.
An addition: If you want someone who always answers your letter immediately, you might get disappointed :-( (I am a sometimes faster, sometimes slower writer due to some personal reasons - more in private mail).
If you want someone who is loyal, honest, and always answers back¬ just disappearing, into building up a real friendship- go ahead ;-)
Another addition: With "dialogue-letters", I mean a REAL dialogue, means answering/asking "a lot" of questions and commenting things on the previous letter, means for me to write the letters like we would meet each other in "real life" a Cafe for example and talk about each others life. Not asking/answering only one or two questions with a short sentence from time to time. A real dialogue contains some more for me for getting known better with each others life.

Favorite Quotes:
Acquire a friend, and judge him with Favor. (Pirkej Avos)
Beautiful are the words spoken by those who practice them (Midrash)
"If I am I because I am I, and you are you because you are you, then I am I and you are you. But if I am I because you are you and you are you because I am I, then I am not I and you are not you!"
Man must "guard himself and his uniqueness, and not imitate his fellow ... for initially man was created in his own image, and only afterwards in the image of G-d." (R' M.M of Kotzk)
"Do not be satisfied with the speech of your lips and the thought in your heart, all the promises and good sayings in your mouth, and all the good thoughts in your heart; rather you must arise and do!" (R' M.M of Kotzk)
The old one's name was Beppo Roadsweeper [...] "You see, Momo" he told her one day, "It's like this. SOmetimes, when you've a very long street ahead you, you think how terribly long it is and feel suer you'll never geht it swept."[...] "And then you start to hurry," he went on. "You work faster and faster, and every time you look up there seems to be just as much left to sweep as before, and you try even harder, and you panic, and in the end, you're out of breath and have to stop - and still the street stretches away in front of you. That's not the way to do it."[...]
"You must never think of the whole street at once, understand? You must only concentrate on the next step, the next breath, the next stroke of the broom, and the next, and the next. Nothing else."[...] "That way you enjoy your work, which is important, because then you make a good job of it. And that's how it ought to be".[...] "And all at once before you know it, you find you've swept the whole street clean, bit by bit. What's more, you aren't out of breath". He nodded to himself. "Thats important, too" he concluded. (Michael Ende, Momo)
