Postsecret

Ok so maybe I'm a bit behind on the postsecret bandwagon but if you are like me and have never heard of it before consider this your introduction. A man named Frank Warren started the postsecret project as a community art project and it has expanded across the globe and he now gets 200+ postcards a day. He started by passing out postcards with his address on them and encouraging people to write down their secrets and mail them to him. Some are sad, some are funny, some are shocking, some are beautiful, and some are downright tragic. He has recieved over 200,000 postcards and has compiled them into four different books so far. They are called A Lifetime of Secrets , Extraordinary Confessions from Ordinary Lives, The Secret Lives of Men and Women, and My Secret. Just so you are also forwarned some are a bit R rated. I think that there is something cathartic about getting you innermost thougts and fears written down and mailing them away. What would your secret be?
