I think it’d be nice if people shared how they practice self-care. This varies so much between individuals in the U.S. (some people like to do yoga, some “Netflix and chill,” some go out with friends while others like to take time for themselves). I’d love to hear what people do in other countries (and learn more about the differences/similarities in the US).

the writing prompt from my profile I had the most response to was the question if the writer has ever lived abroad and where or if they could live abroad where would they want to live.
I recently added the question if they had ever met anyone famous and to tell who it was and where etc. I didn’t receive any response to that yet but I hope I will read lots of interesting stories in the future.

I agree - often I find that I run out of space. I either focus on something on the card - for example if it’s a card from a vacation I’ll write about a memory or something we experienced during the trip - or I’ll respond to the writing prompts on the profiles and some are so much fun to write about! They really make me think/reflect and often I feel like I’m collaboratively journaling.

I loved → August Writing Prompt: sayings or proverbs from your country
For future month’s writing prompts, I’d love to suggest the following:
-
Share your favorite song (in any language) – I love to discover new songs from countries I’ve never lived in, so I can enhance my musical palette… you always need a friend who can introduce you to good things in life
-
Share your favorite food’s recipe so we can try cooking/baking them
-
Recommend a book that one must read in their lifetime
These are good! These capture my interest and I am thinking of answers. Good way to make the prompt fun and interesting. And the window one seems like stating the obvious, but it asks the writer to focus out the window-love it!
I’ve gotten ideas from different profile’s and posts I’ve read through Postrossing. This is what’s in my profile at the moment and it also reflects my own likes and interests:
Something special or unusual happening at the moment?
What’s on your bucket list?
Draw a unique self portrait!
What kind was the dog you last pet?
What made you smile today?
I am currently asking for the greatest insult used in my sender’s host country, profanity welcome! I can’t wait!

That’s such a fun idea! I’m very tempted to emulate you.
My profile includes a suggestion for poetry, including haiku. But I haven’t received a single poem yet. I wonder who will be first…
Waiting for haiku
or even Shakespearean
sonnets. I’m not fussed!
