Post Secret




Last night Heather and I went to a lecture at Tulsa University with the man above, Frank Warren, who is the creator of a project titled "Post Secret". The idea is, to put it in very basic terms, as follows: people buy or create post cards and write a secret on them and send them to his home address (some have return addresses, some don't). That's it...nothing more to it. The results have been pretty amazing. What started as Warren handing out 300 blank cards at subway stations and street corners has taken a life of it's own to the point where Warren now received 100-200 postcards a day. (Read more about Warren's website and the project at Wikipedia here).

Every week he compiles all the cards he receives and the Saturday night will sift through them all, finding the 20 he finds most web worthy and posts them on his website, postsecret.com. Here are some examples:





And then there is my personal favorite:




I did not send this one in either, just for the record! =)

The lecture was actually very cool and thought provoking. One of the most interesting things he mentioned relates to something that is near to my heart. He talked about how when he publishes these cards on his sight or in one of his books, he feels like he is adding a voice to this voiceless community of people out there who are alone, afraid, or who just want to vent their thoughts for someone to listen. He spoke about how in the society we live in today people are so busy and on the move that no one has time for one another, and because everyone is so disconnected we have raised a generation of people who don't know how to relate to one another in a face to face manner. Warren feels like the project, now several years and 100,000 post cards in the making has taken on it's own life and has become about so much more than just people telling secrets....I'll let you decided what you think about it. Either way, visit his sight and give it a chance, you might be surprised at what you see.

All that being said, I thought it would be interesting to see if any of you who read this would be willing to post your secret here on the sight. If you want to, please hit respond to this post, and post something anonymously that you think would relate. Maybe no one will....maybe someone will be vulnerable, who knows??

This is so interesting. If I was to leave a personal secret it would be that I should be shopping at store #15 in Utica Square.
