Internet has always been a place where people could meet and interact, whether they would share the same values or not. I’ve stumbled upon a site that lists people’s confessions. Deep dark secrets. The strange part is, almost all of the listed items were sent in with ‘regular’ mail. Real Life Mail, if you know what I mean. The site encourages it too. This grants a certain anonymity to the senders of the postcards and works of art, which they need in order to come clean and share their secret.
Comments to the guy/girl that runs postsecret :
“I have a quick follow up comment. While it was, at first, rather shocking to see it there on the screen, I was glad to see there were several secrets similar to mine. Which means I’m not so weird!”
“Tonight I mailed my postcard. I mailed it when I would see no one. You’ve helped me face something I’ve only realized in the past few months. Thanks to your site I made a promise tonight to help myself stop my problem. You’re helping a lot of people share their burdens.”
See a secret. Share a secret. [postsecret]
