PostSecret

For my 23rd birthday, the Merriman's gave me a book called PostSecret. Here is the idea of the project:

"You are invited to anonymously contribute your secrets to PostSecret. Each secret can be a regret, hope, funny experience, unseen kindness, fantasy, belief, fear, betrayal, erotic desire, feeling, confession, or childhood humiliation. Reveal anything - as long as it is true and you have never shared it with anyone before.

Create your 4-by-6-inch postcards out of any mailable material. If you want to share two or more secrets, use multiple postcards. Put your complete secret and image on one side of the postcard.

Tips:
Be brief - the fewer words used the better.
Be legible - use big, clear and bold lettering.
Be creative - let the postcard be your canvas.

Mail your secrets, or other correspondence, to:

PostSecret
13345 Copper Ridge Road
Germantown, Maryland
USA 20874-3454"

Participants anonymously send in post cards to Frank Warren. The project originated as a community art project and the response that he received was overwhelming. Some of these post cards were compiled in his book, and to my pleasant surprise, I found the Post Secret blog! It's worth checking out. Some of the secrets are unbelievable. They are incredibly unbelievable to me because I cannot keep secrets!

UPDATE: While I was looking at David's Feevy, I saw that one of his blogger friends wrote about PostSecret too! Another reason why I think Feevy is so awesome. I never would have found this blogger's post if it weren't for this cool new tool! It's awesome to hear what he/she has to say about it. Check it out!
