http://postsecret.blogspot.com/
This site is postcards sent in by people all over the world, and is a way of saying we are not alone. A way of sharing your secret with people, but the people not knowing who you are. Some of them funny, others personal, others depressing, others inspirational. Some of the comments if you scroll down far enough:
“I wish I could give all these people on the site a hug and tell them it’s ok to be human.”
-Washington DC“Hello…I was reading through the postcards sent to you on your website, and I came across one that really touched my heart. The Suicidal Soldier’s postcard panged my soul in such a way that I had no choice but to cry. I wish there was some way I could reach out and hug that person. I want so badly to help them, but I know I can’t. I mean, I don’t even know them and here I am wishing they knew I cared about them. Strange isn’t it?”
-Massachusetts“Thanks to all the brave and wonderful people sending in their secrets - it’s good to know I’m not that different after all.”
-Germany“Some are heart-breaking, some are scary, some are upsetting, but all of them give hope. For if a person has the courage to post up their secret on this site, then they are taking the first step.”
-Great Britain.“Now, strangers aren’t so different.”
-Maryland“I can never put my secret on paper. I can never say it. I can’t even think of it for a long time.”
-Bulgaria“The more I looked through the postcards, the more I wanted to make one. Then I saw one that I could have made; I just didn’t know it until I saw it. The card itself told me a secret about myself that I didn’t know.”
-Georgia“The things that make us feel so abnormal, are actually the things that make us all the same.”
-New Zealand“Recently you posted a card with a water lily on it that stated “For the first time in my life, I feel beautiful, and it is not due to anyone but me. Finally.” That was my card. I don’t think that I ever would’ve told anyone that I finally felt beautiful, but once you posted my card, I posted it with a link to PostSecret, saying that it was mine. I’m not afraid to feel beautiful anymore.”
-New Hampshire“So many of my secrets are there, without even sending a card.”
-Mexico“How I feel is not so uncommon.”
-Canada“I sent you a postcard this morning, and i just wanted to tell you that for the first time in years, I felt calm and happy within myself.”
-Florida“This is the most magical thing I’ve seen for a long time. It’s like one of those card tricks I don’t ever want to know the secret to.”
-Canada“I don’t feel entirely alone when I go through the postcards on your website. Or rather, I still feel alone, but I feel like there are a lot more people alone with me.”
-New York“I never knew that people are so identical. They just pretend they are not.”
-Egypt“All of them are real - even if the people sending them don’t know it.”
-North Carolina“We’re all pretty much one person.”
-Kentucky
Im gonna go continue reading it
