Has anyone ever sent one?

If you don't know what it is...

PostSecret is an ongoing community (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_art) mail art (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail_art) project in which people mail their secrets anonymously (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymity) on one side of a homemade postcard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postcard).

examples:

I wish people would stop complaining about 9/11. Yeah, sure people died and I'm sure I wouldn't like it if someone I knew was in it, but these things happen and there's nothing we can do about it now. If we didn't see the funny side of anything this world would be crap(per).

I know what your saying, but you gotta realise that not only did the people who died because of 9/11 lose their lives, their families did also. Leaving them without husbands/wives, fathers/mothers etc. but yeah i know what your saying.

Me and 4 of my friends started putting up our own secrets on the girl's bathroom wall anonymously. We left post-its and pens to see if other girls would write up there own secrets. As the day went on we grew more excited as we saw more and more secrets go up.http://bp0.blogger.com/_a7jkcMVp5Vg/SJJfDow2N-I/AAAAAAAAFmE/9GFje5fpskU/s400/n1336890306_30166200_6639.jpghttp://bp0.blogger.com/_a7jkcMVp5Vg/SJJfDow2N-I/AAAAAAAAFmE/9GFje5fpskU/s1600-h/n1336890306_30166200_6639.jpg

I adore PostSecret. The concept is amazing, and I've joined the community/forums and gained a lot from them. I seriously recommend joining the forums if you're looking for somewhere to go to talk about pretty much anything concerning life and issues and the like.

Oh, and just as a side note:
http://i38.tinypic.com/33nwx1e.jpg
This one really struck a nerve with me. It's not the only one that's done so, but it's the most recent one I've seen that hit me in a distinctly noticeable way.

It didn't really work to be honest. People were just like "I'm telling", "I love the Jonas Brothers" "I'm not gonna tell you a secret". I'm gonna try it again tomorrow, but try to get people to write serious stuff.

You have to kinda just start off with leaving a few fakes ones in there that are serious and then going back at the end of the day. Otherwise people will be like 'THEY WILL SEE MY SECRET'
