... from amazon.com. I’m really looking forward to this, since I have wanted to buy it for quite a while. www.postsecret.com is a moving, honest and surprising collection of secrets send on a postcard by ordinary people.

It’s so common to hear the expression ‘ordinary people’ and yet, you still don’t really feel as if you are a part of that group. But the honesty, sadness, joy, fear and compassion which shines through in different ways from each and every postcard, is a true image of humanity. And these people I can relate to, eventhough I haven’t experienced everything everyone writes about, but since it’s so forward and honest it appeals to something inside everyone.

Nobody is perfect. Nobody has perfect lives, perfect parents, children, jobs, boyfriends, girlfriends, childhoods, vacations etc, but it is difficult to talk about because everybody have something different to hide, another experience with the world, let it be good or bad.

What Mr. Johnson, 2nd Avenue, 200 Nowhere Town, hides inside of fears and doubts may be of no obvious relevance to you. But every time I read a postcard, something inside of me shatters and rebuilts in a different way, and I’m not the complete same person I was before. I feel a little bit closer to understand just how different and just how similar everybody is. And right at that moment, I confess to myself just what I keep inside, and I understand the urge to get the burden off the shoulders. To feel that moment of complete freedom and to feel a bit reckless, self-willed and unrestrained, when the postcard slips into the mailbox.

It simply changes your life a little bit, postcard by postcard.
