I've known about this website for some time now, but I guess it wasn't until a few recent events in my life really opened my eyes and gave me the life experiences to truly understand the messages being posted here.
If you get a chance, PostSecret is a website that posts secrets. Under anonymity. For everyone to see.
A novel idea, but it goes beyond that.
Look at the picture here. Illustration of a classic pin-up gal. Then add the words. Two short sentences. One sets up the idiocy; the second only proves it.
I feel for this gal (I assume it's a girl, but I could be wrong...). Chances are, she's someone who has found herself in a situation and sees this as a way out. Should you feel sorry for her? I won't be so presumptuous to do so, but check out the other entries. Chances are, you've been there or know someone who has. These folks just found enough chutzpa to actually voice a deep secret.
And I think that's a problem today in our world. Too many secrets, with too much anonymity. Let's be real people; if you have an issue voice it. If someone tells you something, don't just jump down their throats; it probably took some courage to say it aloud to you to begin with. Some secrets are probably best left as such; that's why PostSecret is a pretty novel idea. It's not a substitute for really getting the help that one needs. I'm a firm believer in talking it over with your partner, mate, buddy, brother or sister, or the Internet (that's why I write).
Tell someone you love a secret of yours. It doesn't have to be anything that deep. And you may be surprised; your mate may think it really is that deep.
My secret? I watched G.I. Joe incessantly growing up. After seeing the commerical last night for the upcoming movie, the theme song instantly popped back up in my head. I remember every...single...word. And yes, Lady J is that hot.
