Post Secret

Every Sunday, I check the PostSecret website. Sometimes I skim through them without much thought. I can only relate to some things so much, and if they don't have an immediate effect on me, I move on. Other times, I may frequent the site a few more times throughout the week for a reminder....and yet other times, I save the post cards that really hit home for me. When I get around to adding a set of links, they'll be included. In the beginning, it didn't mean much of anything to me....I just found it to be an interesting set up. Now, it really has become a habit...a ritual....and I enjoy it for the most part.

Have I ever sent in a card? Nope, not yet (although even if I had, I'm not sure I'd admit it....). The temptation has been there numerous times. Everyone has his/her own secrets...whether positive, negative, or neutral, they're there. I had one heck of a scare one time when I ran across a postcard that sent goose bumps all over my body....the person in the picture....the words on the card....I still honestly don't know if I know the maker of that card, but even if it's just a coincidental similarity, I can relate more than anyone will ever know....and if I do know the creator, I feel the urge to say I'm sorry, but I don't sincerely feel it.

Anywho, the intent of this post was to actually comment on a few of today's current postcards....



This is the first that stood out to me. I've never regretted starting a blog...yet...but I've certainly given way too much thought to what can and can't be said because of the horror stories I've read. I wonder if I'll ever feel like I "wish I'd never started these blogs.".....

Would I trade 'everything'?

I don't think I can. Obviously, I will make my mark on the world, and I'll have an impact on various things. In a sense, I will 'change' the world....but I really don't have the desire to 'change the world' than any other person. I prefer to effect the lives of others on a more individual basis and if it has a more powerful impact, then wonderful....if not, I know I made a difference to those people, and that's more than plenty for me. I don't even know what I would change the world 'to'....

I know these people. My secret? They don't know I know...

I can't help but wonder if it actually did. And I wonder if the person was drunk when he/she discovered his/her secret had been published online. I wonder what thoughts went through the mind. I wonder if the person was drunk when this postcard was created....
