I had a little trouble finding another blog to connect to at first; Blogger isn't very good at giving you opportunities to search for blogs that are just based around a topic. But then I stumbled across the PostSecret blog.
I first learned about PostSecret when I was a freshman in high school. My teacher had some books that had collections of the secrets, and our school even had a display set up where students could submit their own secrets. I think there's something liberating about being able to tell a secret to the world; and nobody ever has to know that it's you.
The blog in question has the secrets in a queue and they get updated every so often. And while the secrets themselves might not be relatable to me (I don't have an eating disorder and I never found God at an AA meeting) but they are always fascinating to read. Sometimes if you're having a rough time, it's nice to know that you're not the only one with problems - and sometimes your problems seem quite small when you see other peoples' as well.
I thought it was neat that these were in blog format and having a collection of them in a book wasn't necessary - just another example of the internet being awesome.
Fascinating blog. I'm still pondering it.
