Is there a blog that can save a person’s life, or make it feel better ?

What if the person is a person who is experiencing regret, guilt, sadness, depression, anger, and other negative emotions and is on the tip of a building wondering how their bodies would look like at the ground later ?

What if the person is so tortured by it’s innermost secrets and is contemplating suicide ?

Yes. There is one.

The one and only, PostSecret blog.

The blog invites anyone to send a creatively made truthful postcard with your secret written on it. And then it posts it up for everyone to see, without revealing the true identity of the person who submitted it.

It’s real life secrets of various individuals on a postcard. PostSecret.

It’s interesting, and eye opening to see the various problems and secrets that people have.

It’s good, when I realize that my secret isn’t so bad after seeing some of the secrets that people have.

It’s a motivating thing, to see a blog medium that motivates people to avoid suicide.

As you read the blog, the HopeLine phone number is provided. There you can talk about your problems as you decide whether to jump down a tall building. It’s the next level after submitting your secret in a postcard.

It’s really a blog to help people talk about their problems and deal with it.
And that’s a commendable effort and a inspiring thing.

It’s funny, to see some ridiculous secret that people have.

For example,

I thought my dick was a bad thing when I was small.

I shit in my pants many times when I was a kid.

The girl I love scares and beat the hell out of me.

I’m a guy who cries when I’m angry.

You get the idea. :)

No one will benefit from suppressing their bad thoughts and secrets. One will have to deal with their inner demons sooner or later. It really helps to talk to someone, or just to let someone know. It makes you feel better.

PostSecret lets you do just that.

No matter if you’re a postcard submitter or reader, it really benefits everyone.

Then again the donating part is a little strange. I don’t see proof.

I don’t know if I’m donating to help the needy, or scum who are scamming good intentions for money. It’d be nice if they showed a link or some kind of proof that they are the real deal.

Trust people, but don’t trust the devil in them.

I might just post my secret one day.

Hey, I could do it here.

My secret…

Is…

That…

I don’t have secrets. :(
