what's your secret?
i've been reading postsecret for a while, and i love it.
for those not familiar with the concept, postsecret is a blog where you can post your innermost secrets, anonymously. make your own postcards depicting your secret and mail it to the street address provided on the site. entries get updated every sunday.
i love this site because it makes me feel human. me with all my imperfection, all my shame, guilt, pleasures, big secrets, little secrets, forgotten neglected scary funny secrets.
the words and images on the postcards are beautifully moving and powerful. what an amazing feeling to disclose your secret to the world, with no one being the wiser.
some that make me smile:
one
the above with text : "I steal small things from my friends to keep memories of how much I love them."
two
three
four
five
the ones that make me cry/sad:
one
two
three
four
five
six
i see people mailing their postcards off and walking away from the mailbox much much lighter, and with a pair of wings on their backs. :)

Whoa bu! Rajin banget itu image-nya dilink satu2! Tapi kok pas gue buka error semua yah? Oh, maybe you should direct link them. I think they're all uploaded on Photobucket, so it should be safe. Anyway, yes I'd love to participate in the project, but I was slightly disappointed to find out that the postcards should be snail-mailed, instead of e-mailed. That would take me a long time to find or make a postcard, fold and cut origami papers...
