-----Email Message----- Sent: Sunday, March 01, 2009 11:10 AM Subject: re: spanish i don't do it becuase i think you can't speak english, nor does it matter to me. i do it because i want to show you that i respect you, and i have made an effort to learn your language the same way you have learned mine.

FAQ What is the story behind PostSecret? Which of us is so self-aware that we could not reveal ourselves more deeply by reflecting on our lives…..?

Who is the speaker? What is the root emotion? How is imagery used? Tone?

Are all the secrets true? I think this question is more complicated than it might appear on the surface. Of course, no one could claim that all 200,000 secrets are "true" in the strictest sense or the word. But I think of each postcard as a work of art. And as art, secrets can have different layers of truth. Some can be both true and false, others can become true over time depending on our choices. Sometimes a secret we keep from ourselves only becomes true after we read it on a strangers postcard.

Do you know that I left my boyfriend of a year and a half because of the postcard that read, "His temper is so scary, I've lost all my opinions." It hadn't even occurred to me what was happening and it took a total stranger writing it down to make me realize what the hell was going on in my life. The woman who sent me this email describes an epiphany she had from seeing the artistic message that was true for her on a stranger's postcard. Whether or not the secret was "true" or "false" in the strictest sense of the word was not an important question for her.

-----Email Message- Sent: Sunday, March 01, 2009 12:22 AM Subject: school nurse When I got overwhelmed in high school I would go there too. They were the first ones to notice something was wrong, and they were the first ones to help. You are the reason I have the strength to ask for help when I need it. I forgot how much you meant to me until I saw this secret.
