Flashing #15: PostSecret

I've been a fan of PostSecret for quite some time. In fact, when Random House asked me who I wanted to write the blurb for Postcards I offered up Frank Warren, PostSecret's founder and curator. I wanted to do a version of the original memoir in PostSecret-style as a sort of homage to the site and to Frank. PostSecret really has several styles to it but the most memorable secrets, to me, are the vague, universal ones; the ones that you can easily project your own secrets on. I don't know, I find it helps you relate to the problems and the person better if the underlying story isn't spelled out. So I tried to capture that with my PostSecret story. Of course, if you've read the memoir you know what's going on behind the scenes but, if you didn't, you might still relate to today's entry.
