Guitly Pleasure: PostSecret

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.
