I was sitting in my English lecture, listening to my professor speak about his love for non-formulaic fiction when I noticed some scribbles on my desk. “Share a secret and set yourself free, www.postsecret.com,” it said. It peaked my interest enough for me to pull out my phone and vist the site.

The site has been running for years, yet I’ve never heard of it, once again proving my inability to stay in touch with the internet.

It turns out the site is a community art project. People design and decorate postcards and mail it in with a secret — about anything. It’s an ingenious idea that got me a) wondering why I never came across this before and b) jealous that I didn’t come up with it first.
