Post Secrets

http://postsecret.blogspot.com

If you don't know it, you need to. Familiarize yourself with it, simply because it's the most liberating thing in the world.

For those of you who don't know, Post Secret was a project started by a Marylander named Frank several years back. Essentially all he did was leave notes around town with his address on it encouraging people to send anonymous postcards with their secrets on them. The response was enormous.
So enormous, in fact, that Frank currently has three book composed entirely of postcards, a weekly-updated website, as well as an audio website for those who don't have access to a mailbox.

And there are other who have taken to placing their secrets other places. For example, one common place to leave them is inside of the Post Secret books at book stores.
I tried this the other day, and it felt incredible to get some of the things I've been bottling up for years off of my chest.

I highly suggest this to all of you, as a way to both reach out to others, but also to reach into yourself.
