Haunting.

My computer hasn't worked right since my left shoe came up missing.

Your info comes from a strongly biased sample. Remember, he's only receiving info from people who have secrets.

Sorry, but your info's useless.

You guys are reading too much into the title of this thread. I think it's actually one of the slogans of postsecret. Exaggeration, guys! Enjoy the poetic nature of it : )

After watching that, I went to the website and read through more of these secrets. I was kind of surprised by how trivial some of them, especially the more common ones, seemed to me. I often thought, "So why don't you just tell him/her? What's the big deal?" or "Yeah, most people feel that way," or "It's weird how so many people have these thoughts and feelings that seem so alien to me."

I have a lot of secrets. Most are pretty weird and unsentimental compared to those on Postsecret, but maybe it takes a fairly normal and sentimental person to want to write out their secret on a postcard in some artsy-craftsy fashion and send it to that place. My secrets really weigh on my mind sometimes, but I'm in no hurry to tell anyone; I just don't trust people, and I've got music.
