PostSecret is a blog run by Frank Warren that started as an art project. It asks people to to send a decorated postcard but the catch is that people write their secrets on the postcard. It is amazing to me how many have been willing to open up their hearts, scars, and past sharing these sometimes funny and sometimes painful secrets with the world, but being able to release these secrets seems somewhat therapeutic. I look forward to each and every Sunday so I can go online and see all the new PostSecrets. I also own 3 of the books filled with secrets that every now and then I like to sit down and look through. The best part about these secrets is that anyone reading them can always find at least one secret that they also share, I save the ones I can relate to to my computer just to know I'm not completely alone. This week was a tad but disappointing just because there wasn't really any that I just went wow I can relate to that, but there were still a few good ones that I liked.
I like this one because mostly because I hope it doesn't happen to me. I'm double majoring in Software Engineering and Cognitive Science and it's a lot of work to get there just like I know it was for anyone working at NASA with those kinds of thoughts. Being challenged intellectually is very important to me. I love things that make me think and the thought of living a life where I'm not learning and not being able to think and solve problems really sucks.
