I used to live in Germantown, Maryland--the same town in which Frank Warren receives countless postcards every day, each revealing the secrets of strangers, in a project he began in 2005 called 'Post Secret'. For months Warren handed out and left in public places a postcard inviting strangers to make a home-made postcard bearing a secret they've never told anyone before, anonymously, and send it to him. Shortly after the postcards started coming. They have never stopped.
Amazingly, the Post Secret address IS Warren's actual home address--even after gaining worldwide fame he had no qualms using and clearly broadcasting the location of his home.
A home that happened to be just a few minutes from where I lived.
My secret is this: Before I moved I drove to the Post Secret house, got out of my car, and said my secret out loud.
