I can’t remember who told me about PostSecret but it’s become one of my favorite blogs. Each entry consists of a postcard that someone sent the curator to post. They are beautiful postcards with intriguing confessions.

I will never stop loving my last girlfriend.
No one has any idea that Im gay… especially considering Im marrying a man in 5 months.
i hate myself.
i pleasure myself sometimes.
Im in love with a wonderful boy. He’d never want me because i’m fat. It kills me, so i eat.
Well my secret is i a little hard to understand i love my girlfriend with all my heart but i bored with her the worst part is she said she never wanted to do it with another guy being that i was her first it makes it that much more harder to break up with her and i don’t want to break her heart by breaking up with her so i try and get her to break up with me BUT SHE WON’T but i don’t want to break up with her at the same time because i don’t want to go through my life alone and i’m only 17
My secret. . . Well. . . Secrets. . .
Apparently, I am a notorious child mollester.
I cant help but envy the girls at school that I say I hate.
My life goes by by music I listen to. I am still not sure what that means.
I was going to dump the love of my life so that I could just kiss her.
I know that it’s wronge to, but I think I would have been better off not knowing who my parents were.
I still think my step-dad is my birth father but we had a mix up and now a stranger is my dad.
My mom is my worst enemy, but I feel like i’m more like her everyday.
I tell my family about fake friends, about fake school projects, and how I am in love with my fake boyfriend. I can’t stand to tell them I have been lying to them for this many years.
I DON’T want to be an outcast, but I don’t seem to have a choice.
The thought of suicide makes me squirm because I am sqeemish, but I still would rather be dead.
I am completly convienced the world would be better off without me.
I LIKE to wear the wierd clothes I have because it makes me uniqe.
I lie to my theripist evey time we talk.
I like to wear my sister’s clothes when she isnt home to catch me.
I am not ashamed of my dark past because I know I did all those things by choice. And hell, I LIKED it.
I want to get a sex change only so that I can live the life of a gay man.
If it wouldnt ruin my chances at having friends, I would tell everyone at school i’m bisexual.
These are my secrets, and now they are yours. Promise you will keep them?
I wish I’d forget about them.
I can sometimes catch a glimpse of him behind closed doors, but where is he?
I think I suck because I have no friends. I am afraid of people because all they do is hurt me. There must be something wrong with me. I should be normal, I am 40. I am depressed and wish I would have died when I was 17 and tried to kill myself, now I cant stand to take pills. I want to start over. I think my husband hates me. But likes being taken care of more.
He will always be too good for me.
Everyone knows I cheated.
I will always think about what might have been.
I miss my mother, but hate what she did to us.
When I drink, I hear her laugh.
I can’t go visit my dad, because I am afraid the cancer will take him this time.
I think my daughter would have been better off without me.
I think a lot of people would be better off without me.
My husband loves my implants. I’m beginning to hate him.
They don’t tell you you’ll never have any good sensations again, but hey, as long your husband/boyfriend is happy…
-i feel for him too fast.
-i cheated on him with three different guys but always denied it when he asked.
-i know he’s in love with me and would do anything for me but i’m selfish and i broke up with him so that it wouldn’t be considered cheating.
-i want him to wait for me until i’m ready to be commited to ONLY him.
-i am still in love with him & i don’t know why i’m doing what i’m doing.
i walk through the hallways at my school and wonder how i fit into it all. i see him with his girlfriend and something inside me dies, everytime. i wish i never told him about my scars, i used to love them so much. i know he knows ill wait for him, i wish id die just so he would crumble knowing he could have been there with me, that he made me wait until i couldnt wait any longer. so when he looks at her he’ll only see me.
Sometimes I wish happy, cheerful people would all burst into flames. Smile about that!!
I feel so alone…i wasnt allowed a boyfriend till i was 16 but i always had boys lined up for me! But now i 16 and it seems like no one wants to be with me! whats up with that ? please email me and tell me what to do ! bmw_rocks@hotmail.com
Im also falling for my bestfriend who was mad about me for ages but now hes goin steady 🙁 why does no one want to be with me?
i always said i’d wait till after marriage…
im fifteen and i lost it.
i feel disgusting and never want to do it again.
but im afraid my boyfriend wont understand.
i got drunk, made out with lots of guys, some 9 years older, and touched their penis’ i feel dirty
You told me your deepest secret, and I listened and sympathized with you. But secretly I hate you a little bit because you ruined our relationship. Deep down Im glad you’re suffering the way I have suffered…even though I love you more than you will ever know.
my dirty lil secret is…
I bought an apartment a block away from ground zero, so I would have a good excuse for dying.
Every night I press my head against the floor and pray that he will come back to me.
I will later pray that he will see this and come back to me.
I’m obsessed with a celebrity and I’m afraid that I won’t Love any one else , because they don’t measure up to that person.
I will never love anyone more then I love you Craig… and you will never know.
Get a fuckin grip on yourselves
i jusy dont know anymore. i dont know who i am, how to fit in. i think i am goin to die alone because i dont see how anyone will ever love me. i allow people to walk all over me and wish i could hurt them as much as they are hurting me while they do it. and i wish he liked me but he never will.
I’ve never loved someone I didn’t lie to.
I told him I loved him…but i really dont
It has been 2 years!! Im too afraid to let go
I make myself throw up everytime I eat ice cream. I am so vane and I hate it. but i truly care about people’s personalities instead of their appearences.. just not my own. I wish that I could express how much I love all of my friends and family openly without feeling embarrassed.. but i don’t have enough confidence.. i feel a lot like rooby from december 4.. this makes me feel a little better, but in the grand scheme not so much.
everyone says i’m not that fat and i’m not ugly. i know better.
i hated my mom because she uses herion. i was forced to live with my grandparents. my grandfather abuses me and my grandmother beats me. now i do heroin to get out of this hell
sometimes i wish my mom would hit me instead of just abusing me mentally because then i would know i was right
p.s. my name isn’t really beth
im 18. he’s my 25 year old TA. that’s not so bad. i just want to be his lolita. i wish i weren’t too fat and ugly for him.
Having stretch marks makes me want to kill myself.
I dont have friends, and I dont really try. My family annoys me to no end most of the time, and I never say anything. Im too scared to do what I want, so I dont. Everyone I have ever loved, I still do, but I dont tell them. I really feel like I spend too much time thinking about it to act. Im pathedic.
I cannot find anything to destroy anymore because I have already destroyed everything…… I need to escape…. need to run I feel so trapped…the voices in my head win….. everytime
for every day that i’ve known him, i’ve never not loved him.
i was glkad he cheated on me, it gave me something to sry about
i want girls to envy me
my best friend is the most important thing in my life, why don’t i just call her???
I told him that I loved him and that I would marry him because I knew he would be dead in six years. He’s a Navy S.E.A.L. and I can’t wait till he goes on cruise so that I can have sex with someone that I really want.
I felt preasure from my friends and family to cheat. So I did, and now I hate myself.
I Love Them Both
I think love doesn’t exsist and then i see your face in the back of my mind and it makes me believe so much more. Thank you.
An unknown caller keeps calling my house. I do not know this person, but I’ve fallen in love with them. And I don’t even know if they’re male or female, nor have I heard their voice.
I post everyday on this post a secret website. And I make all of it up.
I only wish he would have chosen me.
I wish I got her pregnant. I love her so much.
My grandmother died almost a year ago, and i still call her house hoping that she’ll answer.
Sometimes I wonder what jumping off a bridge would be like…lately its all I want to do.
I wish my mother had gotten an abortion….when she was pregnant with me
When i was little i used to imagine myself being whipped and abused constantly.
Now i wish that had happened, so people would feel sorry for me.
I feel like i’m going to be a failure, so why don’t i just try harder?
He will never feel for me like i do for him.
In different ways and feelings, i’ve lost all of my friends.
No one will ever understand what i’m feeling deep down inside of me, i always put on a smile.
Friends have hurt me so much throughout my life and most of them don’t even seem to care.
Sometimes i’m just too nice and i get nothing in return.
All i’ve ever wanted was to see a therapist.
for the past month and a week, all i’ve wanted to do is kill myself and no one knows.
