This post written by Clint PostSecret: Extraordinary Confessions from Ordinary Lives
by Frank Warren
[cover name=postsecret]
Frank Warren handed out postcards to strangers and left them in public places. The postcards say
You are invited to anonymously contribute a secret to a group art project. Your secret can be a regret, fear, betrayal, desire, confession, or childhood humiliation. Reveal anything — as long as it is true and you have never shared it with anyone before. Be brief. Be legible. Be creative.
People responded, and they continue to respond. Warren’s original plan was for an art exhibit, but it turned into a website (http://postsecret.com) and eventually several books.
You can look up the PostSecret project on Wikipedia.
