Every Sunday morning I wake up, turn on my MacBook, go make a cup of coffee and sit down to read the new Post Secrets.
For those of you unfamiliar:
The idea of PostSecret is simple: completely anonymous people decorate a postcard and portray a secret that they have never before revealed. There is no restriction on what the content of the secret must be, only that it must be completely truthful and must never have been spoken before.
I absolutely love this site, it is one of very few that I read as religiously as Christians do the Bible. For an all grown up Catholic girl, PostSecret is my new Sunday morning mass.
Since Frank Warren created the website on January 1, 2005, PostSecret has collected and displayed upwards of 2,500 original pieces of art from people across the globe.
Every Sunday, Frank puts the postcards on his web site. Sometimes disturbing, sometimes funny, and sometimes sad, it?s hard not to feel a wide range of emotions when reading the submissions. The skeptic in me ponders if the secrets are really secrets at all. But the artist in me knows that it really doesn’t matter if the person is telling the truth or not. We all have secrets. We all have something we hide about ourselves. It?s the choice to reveal what we want to the world that makes us who we are. And reading the submissions reveals more about me than it does the person who submitted it.
Each of the post cards are a work of art and every Sunday morning I am granted a glimpse into the mind, heart and soul of a stranger.
