PostSecret is an ongoing art project created by Frank Warren in 2005. At PostSecret, everyone can send their secrets anonymously by postcard by mail.
There are no restrictions on the content of secrets; the secret only needs to be true and no one should know about it. Secrets range from allegations of sexual abuse and crime to confessions of hidden desires, strange habits, and dreams and aspirations. Selected secrets are then uploaded to the site, and printed in books or presented at museum exhibitions by PostSecret.
Value
Secrets encourage both the author and those who read them. Frank Warren says that they inspire readers, heal the wounds of authors, give hope to people who find themselves in the secrets of strangers. In addition, in them people can freely touch on topics that otherwise would hardly be discussed. [one]
