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!

msilverman is flexible
How I did it: I just put some fancy lettering and mailed that sucker! I don't keep a whole lot of secrets- so this is deeply personal. I don't think it will get posted but getting it off your chest is what matters! Read how I did it…
How I did it: There are things about me that kill me on the inside but I could never tell anyone. For months I've wanted to write down what I felt. I needed to get it off of my chest. I listened to something that brought back all of those painful memories and figured it was time. Tonight I was going to free myself. [From some of it] Read how I did it…
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…
Elledopholis procrastinating assignments
How I did it: There are probably about a million secrets I could have written down. It took me forever to just sit down with a pen and write something. Once I let my secret "go", I felt a huge relief. I'll probably send more. 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.
PhoenixTail feels like progress.
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.
Justin is being too lazy
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.
cest_la_vie feels like i'm getting somewhere with things
As im off school i have set myself the challenge of doing this in the next 10 days but i dont know what to put. I don’t have one secret that i know i will put on it so i am going to have to think about this. But i really do want it put on the website i will be so dissappointed other wise but i want to get this one done in 10 days it will be hard though.
Jason is a Night Auditor, who loves food.
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.
Melissa B. is back, and ready to get her life in order.
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.
