Post Secret

Post Secret is a website that displays people's secrets on 4"x6" cards. Anyone can submit a secret as long as it is something that you have never told anyone and it fits on one side of a postcard (or at least mailable material). New secrets are posted to the site every Sunday and then replaced the following week.
There is something really fascinating about reading other people's secrets. They all seem so genuine. I really like the idea of telling a secret anonymously. It's like writing a message in a bottle and sending it out to sea... only we all get to read it. Previous secrets have been turned into books. Check them out on Amazon.

I posted a secret. It was published. Now, when I cry over the other secrets I imagine people are crying over mine, and feel better.
every sunday I read the website, and every sunday I cry
anonymous
i wish i would cry.why dont i feel anything.
this is the sweet thing in the world
this project has saved lives all from a peice of paper
i want to post a secret but have too many things to share.
Every time i hear his name or someone mentions it i wait, lock myself in my room and cry... because i know he'll never love me back.
My friends think I fall in and out of love too quickly since the divorce. The truth is I'm 90% sure I'm a lesbian, but am not ready to find out for sure.
I don't try because i'm scared i'm going to fail.
This is a magical thing.
Everytime I see a secret that I relate too, it makes me feel a connection with someone I'm not even sure I know. It makes me know that I'm not the only one.
every time i read one of these i think of the one i want and the one i am decieving with this wanting
it's saved my life it has helped me deal with my depression and get help for it!
i don't think my boyfriend realises how much he saved me. i still hurt myself (he doesn't know that either), but without him, who knows where i would be..
I am terrified i will turn out like my mother
i think about suicide every day, but then i think about people out there who need me and people who i can help even if it means i still suffer. i'd rather stick around and do something good and suffer for it, then leave behind hurting hearts.
I wish I could read the thousands of post secrets.
my sister, my mom, and me read these constantly.. && it keeps us together.
