"Every single person has at least one secret that would break your heart." - PostSecret participant
There's an ongoing community art project called PostSecret created by Frank Warren. It is a place where anyone can anonymously send their secrets on the back of homemade postcards. The only rules are that the secret be true and never spoken of before. Here are the guidelines:
Each secret can be a regret, hope, funny experience, unseen kindness, fantasy, belief, fear, betrayal, erotic desire, feeling, confession, or childhood humiliation. Reveal anything - as long as it is true and you have never shared it with anyone before.
Create your own 4-by-6-inch postcards out of any mail-able material. But please only put one secret on a card. If you want to share two or more secrets, use multiple postcards. (Please do not e-mail your secret.)
Please put your complete secret and image on one side of the postcard.
Tips:
Be brief - the fewer words used the better.
Be legible - use big, clear and bold lettering.
Be creative - let the postcard be your canvas.
PostSecret began as an experimental Blogspot on January 1, 2005. Frank Warren started by advertising his project through fliers and announcements in the DC area. It is now a nation-wide project, also considered one of the top sites online. It is now updated every Sunday and displayed with approximately 20-40 new postcards each week. PostSecret has collected over 2,500 original artistic postcards mailed in from all over the country. International followers have also been known to send in their secrets.
It is an online confessional of sorts and was designed to not only relieve people of the burden of carrying around secrets, but also to let others know that they aren't alone in their practice of unorthodox habits and strange quirks. Some people go there for comic relief or a sobering step into reality. Either way, PostSecret is there for you.
