PostSecret

i <3 it! if the people i know oly read it too...

I NEVER KNEW

Wow. its pretty funny, and often thought provoking!

sheesh

let's me relize I am not alone

I thought that's what SENDING the postcards was about in the first place, that it's off your chest and you can move on.

But it can't be denied that he comes across as a very pretentious man in the book, (have a quick look at it in your local bookshop if you haven't seen it...adding his own made up quotes like some sort of pseudo-philosopher? GOD!!) And a man who hadn't really thought about the money-making aspects of the project untill he saw how popular the website had become, and jumped at the chance once he realised he could get rich quick...which he wouldn't have done if he remained a struggling "artist".

It's just my oppinion, but without meaning to blow my own trumpet or anything, I do have exeptional instincts when it comes to people and I've never been wrong about anyone yet...so, well... sorry about that, but he might not be the social hero SOME people make him out to be.

The whole point was the exhibition of the secrets. People could feel they were sharing their pain or whatever without actually having to deal with any repercussions of family/friends finding out.

Although I found him to be really arrogant in the introduction to the Postsecret book, (so it's art now, is it?) and feel he's just keeping it up to make money from it, (an exibition?! I thought it was supposed to be private?) It's still really nice that people have a way to get things of their chests that have bothered them for years, and that they just can't share with anyone (and most of them have put so much time into making them, you can tell it meant a lot).

I just hope his exibiting those postcards and making a book from them don't put people off, or upset those that have allready contributed.

If any of you did, well done. We support you. : )

i love every one

nothing to say...its secret

This is the author that I work for, Frank Warren. Though some may not understand the idea of Post Secret, those who do have benefited from it immensely, as well as the hopeline. For more information, visit www.postsecret.com.

Its a great book, there were similar exhibitions in New York-set up by two female artists( i forget their names) people wrote their secrets down and they were pasted onto a large glass wall in the city.

i live for sunday postings on postsecret.com.

I loved this. I've read the first and the last book to come out. I could definitely relate to a couple of the secrets in them. Can't wait to send my own.
