Media Meditation 2-In which there is anonymity.

We all have secrets. Some of them are bigger than others. Some of them are not our own, but we are holding for other people. Some of them are joy inducing, and some feel like the wight of the world. We all hold some fascination for knowing others secrets, however small they may be. They hold significance to someone.

postsecret.com
is a project started in 2005. Frank Warren asked anyone who was willing to share their secret by decorating a postcard and writing their secret on it and mailing it to him anonymously. He then chose 20 of the post cards he received that week to post online, to share with anyone who has access to the internet. He invited the world to let go of their secrets, to share them without feeling any sense of shame or remorse.




There are entire stories on some postcards, or just simple statements on others.
