Post Secret is “an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a postcard.”  Every Sunday a collection of postcards are posted on Post Secret, and every Sunday I look for secrets I never knew I had.

Sometimes I find myself laughing and sometimes I’m moved on a fundamental level.  It continues to amaze me the things that people carry with them, and how we’re not that different from one another.

The great thing about these postcards is that you don’t see the person, just the card, so you’re not able to make the same judgment calls based on social and personal biases that you would normally make.  It’s a great equalizer.  Who knows your worst enemy may have just mailed your very secret and you’ll never know it.  It’s a great teacher for tolerance and understanding; which is definitely something we need more of in this world.
