Postsecret

One of my favorite websites/blogs of all time is the Postsecret site (http://www.postsecret.blogspot.com/). Postsecret was started by a man named Frank Warren. The premise of the project was to have people decorate homemade postcards and portray a secret that has never been spoken before. There are no restrictions as to the content of the secret--some are happy, some are sad, some are funny, and some are just strange. The only rules are that the secret has to be truthful, and it can never have been previously revealed.

Every Sunday morning, Frank posts the new secrets that he has selected from those sent in the past week. Whenever I read them, on Sunday afternoon, I turn off the TV and music, and just concentrate on what I'm reading. You're looking into people's souls when you read their secrets. They reveal hopes, dreams, regrets, crimes, kindheartedness, and mean spirits. It seems only fair to give them all of my attention. The best part is, occasionally you'll run in to a secret that someone sent in that is exactly how you feel too. When that happens, you can't help but feel a sense of connectedness to your fellow world-mates.
