I have wanted to do this for a long time, and I even have the postcard ready to send. However I’ve wondered if anyone will recognize my handwriting (it’s fairly distinctive, I’ve never met anyone else who writes in the same style as I), and if so, what are the chances of my convincing them that it was not actually my postcard? I could just choose not to send it, to not participate in postseceret at all, but I feel that if I my postcard is chosen to display, it might help others who have been in the same situation and have wondered if they are alone.

Am I alone in being wary? Has anyone else wondered the same thing, worried who might recognize their postcard? I suppose I could cut the letters out, but that seems to make it less personal to me. This is something that I have told no one, ever, that I had planned to take to my grave. I do not want the moment of my unburdening myself of this awful secret to be lessened by it not being divulged by my own hand.

All of this worrying will not keep me from sending it, I just need to gather my nerve first.
