I want to share with you all a little secret I stumbled across a while ago. It’s a wonderful website that goes by the name Post Secret and it’s one of the most emotionally stirring sites I’ve come across in quite a while. The concept is so amazingly simple, I’m surprised it hadn’t been thought of before. People find or make a postcard, write out their deepest and darkest secrets, and then send them in. They are then posted, anonymously, for the world to see and read.

The owner receives almost 20 postcards a day, so the site is updated pretty regularly. Of course, not all of the postcards make it on the site, but one of the real tragedies of the site is that the owner feels there should be no need for an archive. So, after a while, the secrets are bumped off the main site forever.

I’ve probably read each secret at least twice and there have been a small handful that I’ve connected with rather strongly. Some are shocking, some are funny, and some are troublesome. But in the end, all of them are equally powerful and moving and when you hit the bottom of the page, you will find yourself craving just one more.

Its sites like these that make me remember just how wonderful this great contraption we call the Internet can truly be.
