mutants and post secret confessors

I've written before about the mutants who come back and visit my site on a daily basis, but recently, there's a new group of folks coming to lone entries - the post secret confessors. Apparently, my page on post secret comes up pretty high in the searches so hundreds of folks have come to my site to leave their confessions in the comments. I have to admit that it makes me smile every day to read these and it makes me realize how much fun Frank Warren must be having going to his mailbox every day. For those who haven't snagged a copy of the book, you totally should. I thought about getting it for a Christmas gift but i feared folks might find it disturbing.

It's like your own little grouphug.us, but it's the art of PostSecret that sets it apart.

tony:

I only can relax after reading that because I can guess that 60% of those comments are "creative" fun(I hope). Doesn't it scare you to read that?
You're a brave woman...

On one hand I find it remarkable that people post these things on your site. On the other, I find it rather disturbing. I can't help to wonder if people are taking the piss and just having fun or if there are really that many crazy and twisted folk out there.

Tim:

Sometimes when no one's home, I'll masterbate with two slices of bread or peanut butter, jelly,whip cream, or pretty much anything I can get my hands on.

chad roberts:

Im never happy. I never do anything right. I wish I had the courage to kill myself tonight.

I am a woman, and can't stop masturbating. My husband is a preacher, and it would rock his world if he found out. I also want to screw all his church buddies that come over to the apartment. Oh, how can I keep this up?

Wednesday:

I think that society and pop culture are at an all time low. This is an amazing idea, its inspirational and helpful for those who need it, whether it be a laugh, or to see that they are not alone. If you chose to make a mockary of that, then you are clearly posting on the wrong site.

Whowould Givetheirname:

The other day I promised him I would never use my skin as canvas again...

He called me that night.

While we were talking, I dug a very artistic "THANKS, DAD" into my ankle.

Thank god for scar solution.

cece:

I masturbate using the faucet

Hope:

I started cutting because my dad used me as a human sex toy from when I was 12 to 13.

Now that I don't see him anymore, I cut because I like how it looks.

Everyone thinks I've stopped; but the truth is, I've gotten better at hiding them.

I'm now 14.

jen:

I rather die than deal with my family perhaps I should

shana:

facade:

I used to masterbate during class in the third grade. I didn't know that there was anything wrong with it and I'm not sure if anyone ever saw me doing it...

Amanda:

I have loved him since the first second I met him, he is my first and I know I could never love another... because I would die if I lost him... last night he took an entire bottle of adderal, he almost died and he still cant comprehend how much I am hurting inside just knowing that I could have lost him... and tonight I cut to remember always this feeling of emptiness that he gave me when he wished to just get away....
