Is it possible to watch the older ones as well? I can't seem to find a clickylink to the archives...


edit: went to youtube and found loads of them. Some odd, some really sad, some gave me a lump in my throat and some just scary.

"Zombies make me horny"
"I pretend I like to be different, but I just don't know how to fit it"
"I thrashed my parents house to look like I had a party while they were out of town.....
....so my mom would think I had friends"
"Even though you left us & don't want to be a part of our life...
...I still love you dad"

Very very touching, as is the email response to it, which the person who sent the card in should seriously consider.

Hope and despair in equal measure.

Every week there seems to be at least one that have me nearly (or actually at times) in tears. Amazing what such few words and a single picture can say.

If you mean the "my child/their eyes" thing, I think the writer just chickened out of saying whether their kid was a boy or a girl. Maybe that would make it too personal...

Unless the person has got 2 kids and has told one there's no Santa and the other one that he/she has been too naughty.

Don't see what you're getting so upset about though. Being skint is a poor excuse for telling a kid there's no Father Christmas.

But it can't be easy being a single mother, in a job where you're paid by the hour.

Whilst every time you turn on your TV, you're being told you're inadequate for not being able to take part (as you should if you're a good, decent mother) in a frenzy of rampant commercialism.

My son just wrote Santa last night asking for that special present and I didn't have the heart to tell him that "Santa's" back injury has kept HER from waiting tables the past two weeks .

my secret:
I wish Santa Claus was real so on Christmas no child would have to go without and no parent would have to feel like they failed there child.

I know I cannot do this for every child out there, but if you would tell her that there is someone out there willing to try and buy their son that gift, then I would appreciate it very much.

I am a college student with a limited budget, but it would be a lovely Christmas present for me if I were able to put a smile on the faces of two strangers on Christmas morning.

Gratefully yours,

Frank,

Santa Claus is real and is alive and well. He lives in you and others like you all over the world. I am overwhelmed by the love and generosity strangers have shown my family today. I never would have imagined it would get as large a response in such little time as it has. Not only will I be able to afford the present he asked for but clothes and other necessities I had been putting off.

At this time I am asking that you remove my paypal account from postsecret and I urge anyone else who wants to help someone in need to get into contact with their local community action centers.

Thank you for making my wish come true,
-Amber

ps I will send pictures of christmas morning!

That one says (I think)...."I wish my mother would die so I could kill myself without hurting anyone".

On the site, that was followed by the following emails...

I'm sure you won't post this email:

The above is complete BS. There ARE in fact people whose death would not be noticed by even a single human being, much less cause anyone grief. This doesn't fit the feel-good ethos of PostSecret, but it's a brutal and tragic fact of modern life.

The people the person might be hurting aren't just people in their past, but people who would have been in their future. It's within that person's power to turn their life around and help other people. It's those people who would be hurting - folks that haven't met them yet.
