“I’ve always wanted to run through a car wash.”

“They printed a picture of my brother’s wreck. His lifeless body was still in the automobile. That photo haunts me now.”

“I wish someone would attack, rape, kidnap, hurt, beat, damage me just to see if I could defend myself.”

“I like to smell my own poop.”

Secrets like these are revealed on the Web site, www.postsecret.com. This is, according to the site, “an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a homemade postcard.”

Frank Warren, the founder of PostSecret, choses the cards and posts them on the Web site.

The secrets can be “regret, hope, funny experience, unseen kindness, fantasy, belief, fear, betrayal, erotic desire, feeling, confession or childhood humiliation,” according to the Web site.

A number of secrets not published on the site have been published in book format. The latest of which, My Secret: A PostSecret Book, went on sale Oct. 24.

Anna Patton, a sophomore in psychology and Spanisha Patton, a sophomore in psychology and Spanish, said she enjoys PostSecret because it has something for everyone.

“If you see one that you can relate to, then it’s like ‘Ahhh there’s someone else.'” Patton said.

But not everyone shares Patton’s view. Rory McElroy, a senior in psychology and French, said PostSecret is a “place to vent,” which, according to McElroy is good. But he said he is concerned people aren’t getting help outside of telling their secrets to Warren.

“But some of the things are not a sufficient release. It gives people a false sense of security and doesn’t actually resolve the situation.” McElroy said.

Like McElroy, Samantha Menke, a junior in communication and public relations, said there are both positives and negatives aspects of PostSecret.

“The book is very interesting as far as the composition and the idea in and of itself,” Menke said. “[But it is] actually pretty dismal though because the majority of the secrets are depressing.”

Patton disagrees and sees Postsecrets popularity. And with that popularity, fans like her question what PostSecret might become, especially after the publicity it received from the All-American Rejects’s music video for its song, “Dirty Little Secret.”

As long as it is “keeping true to how it started,” Patton said, Postsecret will have a strong future.

“[It is its] own little community, own little PostSecret cult,” Patton said.

Patton said it will continue to be an excellent outlet for individuals to reveal their deepest, darkest secrets in full anonymity, providing a relief because “at least someone knows.” But the question of how the community will evolve is another matter.
