There is also an art-project called SecretumDoor, [21] where one can find original secrets of 2005, both in Russian and English. You are invited to anonymously contribute a secret to a group art project. Your secret can be a regret, fear, betrayal, desire, confession, or childhood humiliation. Reveal anything -- as long as it is true and you have never shared it with anyone before. Be brief. Be legible. Be creative. I still look at your 3rd grade picture and think what might have happened...If I hadn't moved 825 miles away."

This was my first PostSecret book and I just had to get more once I finished this one. I really loved it. I am actually thinking of startin to send my own post cards to PostSecret. This book made me feel really think. For some reason, My Secret made me want to go on some huge Art spree and just do whatever makes me happy. I have great difficulty dismissing the possibility that the submitters for this book were not operating under similar motives. The second-to-worst PostSecret book. The term for most of these secrets today is "vaguebooking." Other secrets are targeted at a single person, as if the creator were more interested in shaming that one person rather than bearing their soul. Some aren't even secrets so much as they are, "Look at me!" statements or competitive introversion. I found it to be beautiful and inspiring and heartbreaking and funny and depressing all at once. Some secrets made me laugh, a few made me cry, I judged some, I felt like praying for others, but almost all made me feel something, and I think that's what I loved most about it. The book, and the project as a whole, touched me and elicited emotional reactions. Frank Warren has spent forty years working with boxing's most colourful and controversial characters. In his long-awaited autobiography, he reflects on the battles he had to win to reach the top and remain there, not least the battle to stay alive after he was shot at point-blank range in an attempted assassination in 1989.

The 1973 book Variable Piece 4: Secrets by the conceptual artist Douglas Huebler (one of many works in his Variable Piece series) was a compilation of nearly 1800 secrets written by random people.

We thought that we would look cool to the high schoolers (through osmosis, evidently, as it was a secret questionnaire). I've been listening to music I normally wouldn't (Jazz, Norah Jones), reading books I definitley wouldn't usually (Watchmen, Scanwich, GirlLand), and all around trying to make myself happy rather than others. I seem to be pretty selfless sometimes which can put me in bad situations. In elementary school, I stated lying and telling everybody I was allergic to peanuts. This is my first peanut butter cup in years. I had to eat it in the car so my fiance wouldn't see. He thinks I'm allergic to them too." My favourite part about working at Lego Land is destroying all of the buildings that little kids create." PostSecret collected and displayed over 2,500 original pieces of art from people across the United States and around the world between its founding on January 1, 2005 and 2007. [2]

This book was published before things like the Whisper App, or the YouTube equivalent of the Burn Book from Mean Girls, "Story Time," became super popular. It shows in the photographs chosen - most of them look like they were taken with real film. Many are crafted, some elaborate, others scribbled sharpie on torn-out scraps of paper. They're all so different, and yet they form a cohesive whole. There's something beautifully symbolic about that, I think. The secrets themselves also cover a broad spectrum. Some made me laugh, like the clown who took the light-strewn xmas reindeer from his neighbor's lawn and made them "hump" and the person who anonymously mails people e.e. cummings poems. Others, like the person who felt responsible for their friend's drug overdose, or the many survivors of rape who felt like it was their fault or, worse, didn't feel like they felt at fault enough, were heartbreaking. There are contributions on all sorts of thorny topics, like suicide, depression, and sexuality. Some are hopeful, others despondent. There were a few that made my heart hurt and one or two that moved me to tears (the one about the grandmother made me so sad).
