Subject: Forced C-Section
My doctor forced me into a c-section before his shift was over because he was tired of waiting on me. I knew it wasn’t supposed to happen like that.
I have found solace on the ICAN website and mailing list. The women of that group have made me feel like I am not alone, that my feelings are valid, and they have given me the strength to do something better for myself and for my future children.

Subject: What secrets are.
I think that when we read other people’s secrets in your books, on your blog, or at your events, we read a secret we didn’t know we had or a new look on things and a greater understanding that we already have and it just takes someone else’s story to have it awakened.
We can look at people in the streets and see something we wouldn’t have and think, “Maybe it was that person’s secret.” and then we feel more connected to people by realizing that maybe we all carry the same secrets.
The PostSecret Event Tour starts this week and will reach 25 schools and museums this year.

PostSecret Proposals: Frank’s PostSecret Blog on MySpace
My wife and I were recently invited to a Wedding to be held at the American Visionary Art Museum. We don’t know the couple. They invited us because of the groom’s creative marriage proposal at the PostSecret exhibit and we can’t wait to attend.
Here is their romantic story as told to me by Rebecca Hoffberger, the founder of the AVAM.
For people who don’t know, most of the secrets are displayed along the side of a circular staircase that gradually rises to the third floor of the museum. As the couple slowly ascended the stairs she read every PostSecret postcard. He knew she would because it had been her idea to attend the exhibit.
What she did not know was that earlier he had made a special arrangement with me to replace the last post card with a special one he had created just for her see.
When they reached the top of the stairs she read the final card, “I don’t know if I believe in God, but I believe something Great brought you into my life. If you turn around I’ll ask you to marry me. . . “

Subject: I left my secret in NYC
Two months ago I found out my fiance was cheating on me, I packed my things and planned a trip to New York. My last day in the city my friend and I went to the Borders book store by Penn Station. He was off looking at something else and I wandered over to the perfect spot to do something I had been wanting to do for over a month. I went over to the book made sure no one was looking and left the ring my ex-fiance gave me on top of the book - my secret attached.
” I’m so sure and scared. I’m always going to be that girl who is never enough.”
I walked away. It was empowering and heart breaking at the same time. Only about 1/2 of me wonders what happened to it.
See more secrets.
Read hundreds of submitted “six-word memoirs” and post you own for possible inclusion in a new book.

Subject: Someone left their secret in a PostSecret book at my Borders
Frank-
Tonight I found a secret that said, “It will work if you try. Will you wait for me?”
There is someone that I am seeing that recently told me not to wait for her. She is in an abusive relationship and her father has terminal cancer. She called yesterday to tell me that her father was going to hospice.
I know it wasn’t her that left the note between the pages. I’m thankful for whoever did. When she told me not to wait I got the impression she hoped I would but wouldn’t dare ask. Now I’m confident I’m doing the right thing.
I love you and will be here waiting like I told you I would be.
-Ethan

I used to burst into tears in public places all the time. You’d be surprised at the kindness of strangers when you’re in need.

Last week I posted a story about how I confided a secret that had been haunting me to a psychiatrist.
Next week I will invite you to contribute your short memoir to be published in an upcoming book.
This week I want to tell you some of the ideas I am excited about sharing with you on Frank’s PostSecret Blog on MySpace every Saturday.
Telling the funny and inspirational stories behind the 250,000 secrets that have been mailed to me.
Explaining what my wife and teenage daughter think of PostSecret and why my mother has called what I do “diabolical”.
Interviewing some of the young people I admire who are doing fascinating work on the web.
Posting 3 never-before-seen postcards every week.
Inviting you to share your secrets, ideas, and exclusive videos with this supportive online community.
With your help I hope to make this a multimedia Blog. Here is one example of a video made by Brian who attended a PostSecret picnic held last month. This was a special event held by and for PostSecret Community members.
One person came from Canada and stopped in Ohio to bring someone they had only met online. Perhaps we can organize more of these regionally.
This month the PostSecret Project turns four years old. I feel like I am starting another journey with this new Blog. I hope you will join with us for the whole journey. And I hope you will tell your friends about this new beginning.
