Last week I was lucky enough to attend a PostSecret event at the University of Idaho. I met the famous Frank Warren, the keeper of all the secrets.
I was a little nervous going to the event because I heard that the audience is expected to share secrets, and I wasn't sure I wanted to do that. However, I did go and I learned so much about the human condition and PostSecret and what Frank is trying to do that I felt it was necessary to share.
It was so amazing to see secrets that weren't allowed in his books. I was cool to hear some of the stories that when along with some of the cards. I was better to hear the audience trust each other and tell secrets.
I was surprised by the secrets that people trusted with this group. Some were painful, some funny and some insightful and all of them very real. The event was in the SUB Ballroom and it was a million degrees. I seemed uncomfortable both in temperature and sometimes subject matter.
As the full house began to shuffle out of the Ballroom, I heard said what I was thinking. I was on the verge of tears throughout the finale portion of the show. I'm glad that I wasn't alone and that will be my secret to share.
Finally, I am going to post this video because if you look closely in the background you will see secrets sent to Frank. All the postcards in this video are actual PostSecret cards. Plus, it's a pretty good song. Enjoy.
