Amazing site corkboy. Cheers for posting and updating regularly.

I've just gone through  the whole thread and looked at as many Youtube vids as I can find on it. I have to say it has really touched me. There's a mixture of empathy, sympathy, sorrow and joy. It's the truth laid bare. Had to have a little break and go outside for a cigarette and look at the sky for a while just to come to sense of 'normality' if I'm honest. I've got to do this!

Frank after much thought, posted this woman's last voicemail before she took her own life. I'm still recovering to be honest.

Thought long and hard about listening to that and have decided to give it a miss. Imagine it is pretty horrendous and probably one of those things you can't 'unhear'

I understand. I thought about it for ten minutes, then decided that if you are willing to read people's darkest emotions then listening is simply a progression of that.

Out of interest, do you think there is a difference between posting secrets that people have chosen to share and sent in themselves and posting a voicemail that I would have assumed the person intended to be a private message? Whilst I appreciate that it will have been put on there with the very best of intentions, I am not sure that I really agree with it.

I do. I think there's a huge difference. In normal circumstances I don't think I'd have listened to it, if say, it was a link on youtube or a faceless website for the very reasons you mention - which probably makes me a hypocrite.

Post Secret though, is something I (and probably we all) have a level of emotional investment in. I listened to it because I wanted to get a handle on the guy's guilt at not answering the phone, and try and comprehend the scenario he was faced with.

I also think that it's part of my acute fascination with human emotion, both good and bad, that helped me look past my normal values (aka nosey parker).

Fair enough. I wouldn't say I'm 'angry' at them for putting it up as I probably would have been if it was on a media organisations website or someone's social media page where I'd probably be pretty concerned that it was an attempt to shock just for the sake of it. I've got a lot of time for Postsecret and given the work that the site does in trying to prevent suicide I'm sure that the tape was put up for the right reasons.

I just think that maybe Postsecret itself wasn't the right place to put it. For me it is really important that the site be just as much a place where people can send their secrets and get some kind of positive out of doing that as a place where the rest of us can go and read those secrets and gain whatever insight we can from them. For me, the use of a 'second hand' secret kind of undermines that ideal as it tilts the balance towards the people reading the site.

I'll never forget hearing that message now.

Feel so sorry for the pain she had to endure, R.I.P to her and I hope her fella is doing OK.

That's just really hit home just how bad things get sometimes, I'm honestly trying to hold back some tears :'(

I think this one is great. Not just the message, but the image is quite evocative. Joy or hunger? It's hard to tell.

There are indeed Corky. I don't normally post in here, despite being a weekly reader of post secret for a fair old whack. I love it, i think it's truly one of the best sites on the web, a place which reassures me that all my quirks/weirdness is really me just being me and everyone is the same in being totally different.

This one hit me today though, there's something about it:

And when you find yourself along the untrodden path
Remember me with a smile, a drink, a gesture or a laugh
And a toast for the man who loves every hour of every day
And a feast for the friends and faces met along way
Gratitude

I feel as though I'm missing something with that one. I couldn't quite work it out. Hmmm.
I read it as if he feels that his wife had the orgasmic dream because of the first one?
