Secrets

We all have secrets, don't we?

Some of them are silly and small. Some are massive and serious.

Some we can share with friends, some we can't even tell ourselves out loud.

And some are sent by not identified people to a website.

Postsecret is a popular way of letting people know(doesn't matter who) about private, deep and dark secrets. It invites you to send a 4-by-6-inch postcard out of any mailable material to their address in the USA. They then choose which ones are going to be on the weekly updated webpage.

Isn't it easy that way? Somehow you are letting out something you wouldn't even consider sharing with anyone close to you. But it feels safe and comforting to let hundreds of others know.

And then, you aren't alone anymore. Or as crazy as you thought you were. Or as miserable. By checking everyone else's secrets, you can feel like there is a big number or strangers who also feel like sharing.

If you are thinking about mailing some hidden feelings or experiences, pay attention to the tips given by the website:
"Be brief - the fewer words used the better.
Be legible - use big, clear and bold lettering.
Be creative - let the postcard be your canvas."

After all, we all need to follow some rules, even if we are being that spontaneous.

I have a different take on Secrets; I believe, they are told to people who can understand why you consider it as a secret. It's chilling though to have a secret kinda like ah! my dad doesn't know how much I scored in Maths...he he

Nice Writeup!
