Secrets...

About two years ago, I remember watching a 20/20 or Nightline episode on this guy named Frank who started collecting peoples secrets via post cards. (There is more to this story and a good reason as to why he did it, but I don't remember those details- sorry) At first I thought how odd that must be to write your secrets and mail them to Frank X, but then as the story went on- it made more sense. People shared several stories about how liberating it was to tell their "secret" to some random person. Some of the secrets I've read can be pretty riskay, so I skip past those, but there's one I remember in particular that said something along the lines of "He's serving time for the crime I commited"... YIKES! Anyway, I was intrigued and started to frequent his blog where he'd select 20 postcards and post them each week.

No, I have not sent in any secrets... so don't ask. My dirty laundry is and has always been out in the open! It's almost like reality TV for the blogging world and I'm about as addicted to Franks blog as I am to stupid reality shows... it's a sad story, I know.

"There are two kinds of secrets: those we keep from others, and the ones we hide from ourselves"
-Frank

I was just on the blog and noticed this new video... pretty interesting. Here's the link to it:

I love going to his site and reading the secrets. I am a faithful reader, so I am right there with you, Deb. I find it very interesting and sometimes I wonder what I would send in but I haven't come up with anything...yet. Who knows...maybe one day?!!?
