Secrets

Part of my Sunday ritual is reading the posts on the Post Secret site. The secrets are often so loving and kind, although sometimes they can be revengeful.  Sometimes they express love, sometimes a wrong doing or a hurt experienced. If you're not already reading it, perhaps you'd like to try it. I find the creativity with the secret is almost as interesting as the secret written.

Today, I found this one the most stirring. In case it's gone when you link to it, the writer said they asked someone to write their secret as they didn't want their handwriting recognized but the person they asked couldn't write the secret down and admitted she had the same one too.

We all have secrets don't we - I don't think there's a human on this earth that can honestly admit they don't. And one of the things that seems to make us feel better is knowing that we're not alone, that we're not the only one experiencing such an issue. I  guess that's why talk shows in the 70's became popular, TV was a way to share secrets and the viewer felt a bit better knowing they weren't alone. The internet has helped and harmed this as we are able to better connect with strangers around the world, but often can't communicate to the people in our lives, sometimes in the same room.

I'm curious, have you ever anonymously shared your secret and were your relieved or did you regret it?
