a window to my heart.. even if people don’t know it’s mine ;) Although, I don’t think I can make them as creative as the ones on PostSecret… whatever, as long as it’s my own, right!

How to send a postcard to Postsecret
It made me
happy
 "life changing."
How I did it: i actually made my own postcard by cutting some extra scrapbook paper to the 4x6 size of a postcard. wrote my secret. bought the stamps at one post office, and mailed the secret from a box outside of my town. (very small town - bff's mom works at post office - handwritting very obviously mine.) shortly after, my secret "went away;" as though "it" left with the card. an interesting association. Lessons & tips: it was just a really helpful experience, sending it away, but also thinking of the things i've held inside made me more aware of them. being aware of them made me able to change them. Resources: the usps.

Feel so much better
How I did it: I wrote done my secret and carried it with me for a long time, until one day I was mailing something to a pen pal. I looked at the postcard, took a deep breath and dropped it in the slot. It might be dramatic, but once it was in there, I felt so much better. Read how I did it…

I got the mailbox and was ready to put it in, but I didn’t have a stamp.
Then next time I went, I chickened out. I’m afraid that she will see it and know that it’s me.

I really really want to post one, but I dunno. We’ll see how it turns out. I’m not entirely sure about how to do it, though.

What to send?

I have plenty of secrets. The only issue is deciding upon the ‘right one’ so to speak, and then actually taking the initiative and sending it in.

For me the hardest part was mailing the secret. It sat in my purse for 2 weeks before I actually mailed it.

I think it’s kind of ironic that I haven’t accomplished this, and yet I’ve signed up for Postcrossing and sent cards through there.

Found My Postcard
2 months ago
I was shopping for something entirely unrelated to this goal, and there is was: A postcard perfect to be the base for my secret. It just screamed “Here I am, buy me!”
I’ve ordered it and already planned out the text I want to write on it and a few things I want to do to make it more personal/artsy.
Now it just has to get here.
