This is a postcard from a website called postsecret.com. Post Secret is a community project started by a man named Frank Warren, in which people mail their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard. The idea is that people can send in their deepest secrets - things they have never told anyone, and don't feel comfortable sharing yet - anonymously and hopefully come to some sort of peace by "confessing." The people readin the postcards also find reassurance in discovering that there is someone else who has felt that, done that, or said that too. Post Secret aims to remind people that they are not alone.

Right now I think there are currently 3 postsecret books and many blogs and facebook pages devoted to the idea (however online blogs have become problematic because people can comment on the postcareds and potentially reveal someone's identity). I chose to post this on the blog because I think it goes along with our earlier discussion of "what is art?" To me, these postcards are art, because they remind us that we are human, and as such we share some of the same feelings of fear, shame, and joy. The postcards are beautiful because each and every one of them comes from someone's soul. They captivate what it means to live and to feel.

The postcard website is updated every Sunday.
