Post Secret

Every Sunday morning, I wake up and head straight for my laptop.  I am in love with a project called Post Secret. 

Quick summary from Wikipedia: 
PostSecret is an ongoing community mail art project, created by Frank Warren, in which people mail their secrets anonymously on a homemade postcard. Select secrets are then posted on the PostSecret website, or used for PostSecret's books or museum exhibits. 

When I had first heard of Post Secret it was pretty much just an interesting concept.  But once I had loyally  checked out the site a few weeks in a row, I was hooked.  Anyone from anywhere can write down their deepest, darkest, most crippling secret and then {sigh} release it.  When people put their secret in the mail, it's like they let it go.  They allow themselves to relieve themselves of the guilt or embarrassment that they are carrying around.  We are all these people.  We all have secrets.  We all have things that not everyone knows about us.  Whether it's on purpose or not.  They None of us are ever completely alone.

Another awesome aspect of Post Secret is that it's a huge supporter of suicide prevention.  They have paired up with a helpline to offer support to those in need.  1-800-Helpline has gained tremedous respect and been given many "shout-outs" from readers who have called in for help.

To check out an archive of postcards, you can go here.  Otherwise, check out the Post Secret site.  Every Sunday, you get a new batch of postcards.  You get a chance to remind yourself that your perfect co-worker we all have things we struggle with, no matter how well things are going.

Perfectly right there with ya!,
