How to send something to post secret
It made me
more transparent.
 "It was interesting to finally come up with something that was actually still a secret in my life. I have learned to be more transparent as a result of writing and sharing my experiences with other souls. "
How I did it: I started the process by attempting to make a private list of personal secrets. After having a few come to mind, or so I thought, I realized that I had shared all of them with at one person in my life. Finally I came up with one secret that I had "forgotten". Lessons & tips: I had a brain freeze and placed the postage stamp on the picture side of the postcard. Duh. Removed the stamp, which left a sticky residue on the card. Had to cover that part with a piece of tape to keep it from sticking to other pieces of mail. Post card mailing 101: Stamp goes on back side of card. Resources: Mail to: |

How I did it: Although I haven't actually sent a secret into the website, I was at Chapters today and I found a 2012 book, which slightly terrifies me. So I was skimming through the book and found a card in it, so I decided to write on it :) It was more of a whim thing, and I felt rebellious doing it, so I didn't feel all that much better about it.

How I did it: I was cleaning out my backpack and found little fliers that were made to get attention for a youth voting block about environmental issues (PowerVote).

I don’t have many secrets but I do have a few things about which there’s just nobody productive to talk to because there’s nothing productive to do…but it feels strange wandering the earth never having shared these things with anyone. It does feel “sick” – it doesn’t feel sustainable. At this phase in my life I have to start realistically thinking, if only once in a while, about how I want my life to be when I leave the world. I could still live a long time and I guess for all my troubles I still hope I do, but a lot of guys much younger than me also die of a heart attack or a freak accident or something, and I don’t want to die with these things caught inside me. Why chance it when, for the price of a postcard, you can let a little bit of your life loose?
I’ve never been married but you don’t usually get to my age without seeing a few people, and I love people so I don’t mess around – when I date anybody at all I usually get to know them pretty well. I’ve found they all just left a mark on me that doesn’t go away, for better or for worse. Some people provide mirrors on your own being and you never quite forget what you noticed about yourself when you looked into their eyes, looking at you. Some people never seem to connect with you or engage with life all the way no matter how hard you try to stay open and make it safer, and years later you still wonder what they needed and if they ever found it anywhere. Some people are very good and very much not “the one” and they just leave a tiny piece of your heart forever wishing it had worked. So I wrote a couple of postcards with a little bit about “her” and “them.” Planning on hitting the mailbox tomorrow.

I have the postcard. There it sits on my bedside table waiting to be sent out. I just have to get up the energy and the courage to JUST DO IT but I know that my heart will skip a beat if I see it on the website.

sometimes us humans have the tendency to discuss everything to death. sometimes you just want to say something and not get any judgement from that person.
or sometimes theres just something you can barely think, let alone say. so you put it on a postcard, send it on a cross country trip, and the thought is gone forever.
