Shhhh!!!!

I am probably the last person in the free world to find this, but there is a site callled Post Secrets and I have to admit, I'm hooked.

The premise is simple: you make a postcard out of whatever you feel like, and on that postcard you tell one thing about yourself that you've never told anyone before. It's completely anonymous and you have to be truthful.

Some are silly, some are terrifying, and some are just a little odder than normal. But each of them is, in it's own way, a flat out emotional experience. There is something very powerful about telling a secret about yourself to the world, even under the cover of anonymity. There is also something powerful in being told that secret, and realizing that other people go through the same things you do or have some of the same weird impulses. Some are funny, some are heartbreaking, and some, like the one here, just have an indescribable sweetness to them. A quality I can't describe by any other term than veritas.

The secrets change each week and some are better than others, but it's definitely worth seeing.
