post secret

I’ve been seeing various blog posts all week about a new blog called postsecret. It sounded interesting, but I never went to check it out. Basically, they invite you to write down a secret on a postcard and send it to them in Maryland. They scan and post your postcard.

Well, I went to the site tonight, and can’t stop reading. It’s a very simple idea, but the results are amazing. Most people make little works of art on the card, using various materials. The secrets are deep and huge and scary, and it is clear that sending the card can be very therapeutic. I am going to send one I think. I don’t know. I don’t really have any secrets….

You really should see this.

    that’s a fantastic idea, i came up with something similar to that, but never posted anything on it. dream post but i dont remember my dreams, and when i do i dont remember enough of them to make any sense out of them.

    I’ve seen other websites similiar to this, ones where you can divulge your secrets, lash out at your ex’s, etc. This one though is the most creative.

    Great find. Thanks! Reminds me of a web site I used to visit. It was a single page. On it was a “confession” and was replaced when you typed in your own confession. No archive or anything. It was addicting. But I’ve never been able to remember the name of the site to find it again.

    The 9/11 one disturbs me most.

    “Everyone who knew me before 9/11 believes I’m dead.”

    ick.

    HOW THE FUCJK IS THAT FUNNY, Hampton? That is just sick. Excuse me, I need to go and puke now. For a long time.

  10. Hampton said something

    Alright, that’s it.

    Chris, I know you disagree, but I’m done commenting on this blog. I feel like I can’t say anything without getting bashed.

    And, yeah, I set myself up for this one. But PM, Chris obviously thinks its funny because he picked it for the post!

    Later guys…..

    Hampton,

    Don’t sweat some of the a-holes who comment on Chris’ blog. Not all of us are bigoted homophobes. Thanks for sharing with such raw honesty and don’t stop doing so.

    Fuck you, pmc. I hope you puked on your favorite shirt.

  12. Jacob said something

    Ouch… That had to hurt. Oh, Hampton… Andrew is right, don’t let them get to you. I smiled when I saw the gay church camp sex one.

    PMC: sometimes we react the most strongly to that that is real for us but we can’t deal with.
    (and barring that, well…it was just rude. don’t assume everyone shares your neuroses.)

    Everyone needs to just accept other people. Don’t put down those who put down others, it makes you just as bad as they are.

    Everyone has their own opinions and vices, even though we may not like them. Just remember that if you hate what one person says, they probably hate what you say just as much, and vice versa. No one is better than anyone else…We are all entitled to our opinions.

    Anytime I am ever away from my boyfriend I fall back into depression, the depression that he got me out of, the depression he has no idea about. I want to tell him, I know he would understand but I don’t want it to seem like I need to be around him all of the time. I’m afraid of looking needy.

  27. poe poe said something

    i really do love him and i hope that he isnt cheating on me and i am having someone do tarrot cards and tell me if he is cheating

  28. lemon said something

    I think pmc should write a secret to them. It would say this:

    I get angry at things I can’t accept. I try and hide my true self through anger.
    Maybe I am afraid to admit something to myself…
