My Little Secret!

Awhile back, I did a blog post about PostSecret. I love this site. Every Sunday they post a bunch of new secrets. The concept is simple, on a standard size postcard, you anonymously write your secret, decorate it however you like and mail it. Some say it's therapeutic as they often have a secret they can not share with anyone. Some say that it's a great way to get something off your chest. A lot of people say that they enjoy reading them because more often than not, they can relate to what others have written. 

The anonymity of the whole process is what's allowing for someone to be truly honest - without the fear of retribution or receiving flack. 

This all started out as a project, and it soon became obvious to the creator Frank Warren that it was taking on it's own life-form as people were naturally drawn to this. 

How liberating to state something that's been troubling you or to read what others have written and not judge, or care if someone is judging? True, anonymously posting your troubles might not solve them, but it does do one thing - it gives clarity and that in-itself can put someone on the path to solving their problem. Sometimes, the act of putting pen to paper also helps someone to get it off their mind and focus on the "now".

So, I just love reading PostSecret every Sunday or Monday morning. I have laughed, been shocked and admired what a lot have mailed to Frank. Some of the postcards are so touching, they've made it into a few of his books. 

Addicting to say the least! If you want to read all about it, and become equally addicted, click here!
