I actually had to check and make sure I hadn't written about this site before because it's actually one of my all time favorites. So much so... I actually did a news story about the site and interviewed the site's founder Frank Warren when I was reporting for WTOP in Washington, D.C.
Post Secret is a wonderful guilty pleasure. It works like this: people mail Frank their deepest darkest secrets and he posts them on his web site every week. It's all anonymous, so Frank's contributors are never revealed. The site is the basis for countless books and even made an appearance in the All American Rejects music video for "Dirty Little Secret."
I don't know what it is about it... but the site is really intriguing. There's something about reading other people's confessions that makes you feel better about whatevers harboring inside your own heart.
I've always wanted to send a secret in to Frank, but I've never had a secret that compelled me to actually releasing something to the public through the site. Maybe some day.
Here are some of this week's secrets. Just like all secrets.... the cards can get a little racey... but I'll keep it PG here.

Great site! A few weeks ago, I sent something to Post Secret, confessing that I regularly spit in my coworkers' coffee.
ReplyDeleteOh, wait. Maybe I shouldn't be writing that here...
