Post Secret

I just spent the last hour reading Post Secret.

If you don't know what Post Secret is, it was an art project started by a student. He asked for people to mail him homemade postcards with secrets they had never told anyone. The outpouring was so huge that people still send in postcards today.

I think the true beauty of Post Secret is realizing how tightly connected humanity is. We might not have the same experiences or opportunities, but we all worry about the same things. We are all united by our common fears, like our realization that we might not be good enough for someone else (or ourselves).

Read some. The ones I selected aren't necessarily my favorites, or mean that I relate to them perfectly. They just resonated with me.

We all need a little recognition, especially from a loved one, on our special day. 

Unreached potential and unanswered opportunities

We all need a little dose of home

We all feel this way at times.
It's when you decide that you don't care what they think that you are truly FREE. 

Live to your full potential. 

Yep. I never did this, but I definitely love my family. 

Honesty. Not brutal honesty, but just honesty. 

This one just broke my heart. 

Nostalgia for better times

Afraid to let your heart break

Regrets of past mistakes... and being ashamed to finally admit them.

It will all work out the way it's supposed to. 

We all want to be loved. 

We all are making it up as we go until something works.

That's why we have an Atonement. And angels- in the form of family and friends. 

Can't we relate in a way? This is why we have empathy. We all are dealing with the same problems, just in different flavors and doses. This is why we have people to live our lives with. It would be way to hard to make it through on our own.
