One of my favorite things to do on Sundays is to check out the new additions to PostSecret. PostSecret is "an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard."
A new set of secrets is posted every Sunday. I think it is just such a
cool thing, it allows people to share their secrets with the world,
without actually sharing them with anyone since it is always
anonymous. I think the release of the secrets out into the world, instead of holding them inside can be incredibly freeing and I am often really moved by what I see on the site. Some secrets are goofy, some are tragic and some are just downright
disturbing, but I think they do help a lot of people to not feel alone
for inevitably, someone sends in a secret that could have been yours.
You can find more info about it here. Collections of secrets have even been published into books, I believe there are 4 at this point. Here is a video trailer for the site which includes a video montage of secrets set to the gorgeous song Breathe Me by Sia, along with Frank, the founder, talking a bit about the project as a whole.
Comment by The Man: This is a great site and of the same ilk as that 'Found' site...if you can post the link I'm sure people would enjoy it. Both offer that voyeuristic experience into the deep, dark private worlds of total strangers. And come on, who doesn't get a thrill from that?
