They add new postcards on Sundays. I always leave this site wishing that I could contact some of them and give them a hug.

1. Someone posted it here last week...

which was the first opportunity I had to see it. Really well done, both the site and many of the contributions. What a great way to derive value - even if purely aesthetic - from some of the suffering in people's lives, which I suppose is one way of regarding the artistic process.

Sorry.

4. It's just different....

people send in their secret and according to their messages they feel better after getting it off of their chest anonymously. Some are dumb, some are deep, some are sad, some interesting, some not.

Personally I can't come up with anything interesting enough to send in!

7. This reminds me of another site someone posted in the Lounge recently -

I have been addicted to it ever since! Probably I'll weary of it soon enough I guess, but it is fascinating. You really learn a lot about people from it, I think. Especially the younger generation. It's kind of like a concentrated form of livejournal, with only the "good parts" left in.

It also has given me yet ANOTHER reason to not be too disappointed that marriage never happened for me so I have no kids! How hard it must be to be a kid OR a parent these days!

9. I suddenly don't feel that bad about myself.

Wow.
