Postsecret

Book number 8 in the 100+ Reading Challenge

Postsecret
put together by Frank Warren

Outer Back Cover: You are invited to anonymously contribute a secret to a group art project. Your secret can be a regret, fear, betrayal, desire, confession or childhood humiliation. Reveal anything - as long as it is true and you have never shared it with anyone before.
This is the project that captured the world's imagination. Created by Frank Warren, the instructions were simple, but the response was overwhelming. The secrets were both provocative and profound, and the cards themselves were works of art. This extraordinary collection brings together the most poignant, personal and beautifully intimate secrets, touching on every aspect of human experience.

It was funny, sad, thought provoking and just amazing to read people's secrets like this. Just on a postcard. And the cards were so cool! The amount of work some people have put into them was really impressive. Reading other people's secrets reminded me of some of my own. Maybe I will send one of two of them to the Postsecret project?

The only negative thing about this was that it took me only an hour to get through.

If you want to send in a secret, here is the address:
PostSecret
13345 Copper Ridge Rd
Germantown, Maryland
20874-3454
USA

There is also a website: Postsecret.com

This one made me really sad.... I wonder how many soldier feel this way...
