Do you read postsecret?

[yewberry]

I check it most weeks. It's interesting to see into other people's worlds--sometimes the secrets are mundane, sometimes they're profane (and frequently not work-safe).

One of today's secrets is creeping me out. Look at the fifth entry. I don't know if I could walk around with that in my head and not explode.

1. Wow. That is one strange concept. Pretty interesting.

[yewberry]

3. Do you mean the postsecret site itself?

Yeah, it really can be strange.

(And fascinating.)

[lies and propaganda]

4. I save at least one a week... They make for great myspace comments.

Its strange how someone elses secrets are shared by so many people that you know.

7. You're right about that.

And also how someone else's secrets can sort of illuminate your own.

[Beausoir]

9. Yeah. Well, and the underground detainee claim is pretty scary, too.

[lies and propaganda]

2. woah! Im a postsecret nut, and I just read about that Camp in another thread

its such a great site.

I get a good laugh everytime at the Costco Muffin secret..

5. The daughter-in-law story?

I think that one must resonate with a lot of people!

[lies and propaganda]

12. yes!

after all, DU is where I first heard the praises of costco sung ;)

6. google rex 84-- there's lots of info available....

[yewberry]

8. I did, actually.

As soon as I read it.

It'll take more reading until I feel like I can sift through the chaff out there on the subject, but it's a really terrifying notion.

Unfortunately, not a surprising one.

11. The seventh one was just heartbreaking,

This one made me smile, though:

Ever since I discovered PostSecret I look out for secrets: on street corners, lamp posts, faces, dollar bills too. I need to be reminded that everyone has secrets and that I can be open to being there when someone needs to let one go.

I am trying to be the kind stranger I've always wanted to meet.

13. I never had read it before, but will now...

That is very scary about the interment camp. This is somewhere in the US?
