Postsecret

I enjoyed the site. Any time people can have a place to release their creative ideas is wonderful. Things like this give some people a reason to function. Sunday secrets give them a chance to release what they hold inside them, relieving the pressures of everyday life. I am not sure that it matters if the submissions are real or fake, the postings are there to provoke thought, emotions and feelings not judgment. How is to say what is real? What is real to one person may seem fake to the next. It is all about individual perception and experience, if a person reads a posting and can relate it to their life then that posting is real. If they cannot relate then that person will just move on, not wondering if what they just read was real. The functionality of the site is based on individual perspectives. Serving as a release for people to express feelings that they may not be able to express under normal communication, that element makes the site very valuable to the users. From the responses, you can tell that many people share some of the same felling and thoughts, which lets them know that they are not alone.

When my fiancé left me, I volunteered to go to Iraq hoping I wouldn’t come back. I got the Purple Heart instead.
I have experienced the lost of love and it hurts. Love hurts so much that you feel as if you cannot go on. This is the reason for volunteering to go to war and hoping not to come back. The person cannot just kill them self, although they feel like dying. So dying in war would be the next best thing. That is not what happens. They go to war, fight bravely; sustain wounds and transported home a decorated hero. Now their pain is doubled, physical pain from the wound and mental pain from the heart break. The only thing that heals heartache is time, not war or any other type of pain.

Pros and Cons
It is 2007 and parents and grandparents do not care how their children are treated. The only thing that they care about is the color of skin, sad but true fact that will never die out. Not every person is like that…I have to add that in there because it has gotten better.
