…is PostSecret. I am totally in love with this site, now that someone (ah-hem, cough cough…Jen) got me addicted to it. I’ve spent far too much time going through their archives and embracing my voyeuristic side.

In case you haven’t heard of it, people anonymously create these really intricate postcards with an innermost secret that they could never,ever tell anyone and send it in to the site to be posted. Some are just what you’d expect, some are silly, and some are…wow:
