I have a Sunday routine. My roommate and I get up. Go to church. Go to lunch. Go back to our room. Turn on whatever football game is on at the moment [preferably Colts or Bears (<--her choice, NOT mine)]. Pull up my live Fantasy Football Fantasy Cast on espn.com. Yell at the television and computer screen like a crotchety old man. Do homework. And then, my shameful vice, check Post Secret. Now, besides the first on the list, none of these activities occur at a specific time any given Sunday, however, they always happen. Same thing. Every Sunday.
Ever since my discovery of Post Secret last year, I have been checking it almost every Sunday. I'm not sure what this says about me. Do I feed off of others' drama and secrets? I hate people like that! I hate people that need drama in their lives to be happy. I'm definitely not one of those people. However, I think that Post Secret provides for people (whether they're brave enough to send in their own secret or not) an opportunity to know they're not alone in whatever trials or tribulations they're experiencing. An opportunity to laugh hysterically, get a bit choked up, or blush in front of your parents.
It's like a giant support group. With pictures.
Post Secret is a vice, but also an inspiration. I feel more connected to people that I don't even know. It makes me think about things, people, and situations differently - more deeply.
It is yet another way in which technology gives us the opportunity to become smarter, think outside the box, and possibly develop an overall passion for the human race!
GO FRANK!
