Judge not, lest ye be judged

I love postsecret.com.  Postsecret is a project started by a guy named Frank Warren; the idea is that people mail him anonymous postcards with their own secrets written on them, which he then posts online. Something about reading those secrets feels a little naughty, I guess it’s kind of like reading someone’s diary, but the overriding feeling I get from scrolling through those strangers’ cathartic, mini works of art  is comfort. I’ve never gone through those secrets without finding something that makes me wonder if people can hear what I’m thinking. After that wave of paranoia passes, it reminds me that as alone and odd-man-out as I feel at times, there are people out there who are just like me, and maybe I’m not so abnormal after all.
