Some more info about PostSecret and Frank Warren:
Warren has published six books and is currently the creator of the world’s largest advertisement-free blog, www.postsecret.com.
Frank Warren has secrets – hundreds of thousands of them. Over the last decade, Warren has kept the world’s deepest darkest secrets as part of his community mail art project “PostSecret.”
Since 2004, anonymous postcards containing confessions, regrets, childhood stories, habits and desires have been sent to Warren’s Germantown home and he’s then documented them on his website. Almost the entire collection of messages have now been placed on exhibition at the National Postal Museum, on display through September 2017.
PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a postcard. New secrets are posted every Sunday.
If you would like to mail your own secret, here’s the address:
