The power of secrets


Secrets are our friends and enemies at the same time. They can save us from time to time and they can destroy things. Secrets can be scary. And they can make us safe. Everybody knows how it is to keep a secret you have been told. Sometimes we know that keeping them is the biggest problem. But sometimes letting them out is too scary. I think secrets are amazing. And I also think we never think about their true nature. Something natural that comes without trying and which makes us happy at some times and sad at the other.


SecretPost, a movement online, receives anonymous letters or postcards with secrets. I fell in love with this. Here underneath a few of my most favorites. The nice thing about this that some are shocking, others could even make you cry. But it shows the power secrets have even if not connected to a person.

  2. Wow!! What an amazing project! And I bet we can all relate to at least one of the secrets, so there's a comfort in knowing that no matter the magnitude of our secrets, we are not alone :)

  4. I love this site too, been following it for years. Just one thing though, it's called Postsecret (www.postsecret.com) not Secret Post!

    Lovely blog, pop by mine if you like, I know it can be hard to be a new blogger :)

  5. @ Clio: You are so right :) For some reason I wish it was the other way round. But thanks for mentioning it. I am so messy with things like that. I really need to change though!
