Postcards and Secrets
Ron put me onto this site on Sunday. People create and send in postcards with their secrets on them. Reading them, I couldn't help wanting to be a part of it, wanting to send in my own secret. So I thought about my most glaringly heinous mistakes, the things I wouldn't ever want to come out in a job interview or a political race, but I can't use any of them. One of the rules is that the secret has to be previously unshared with anyone. For every one of my scandals, I've told at least one person, for shock value if nothing else. I kept thinking and eventually I found it—that place where you bury things so deep, you don't care if you can ever recover them. On the verge of forgetting. My secret was almost gone—lost over the edge of the abyss—but I snagged it before it slid into oblivion. Just so I could make a postcard. But it's a really good secret.
What's your secret?
if I tell you I can't send it in...
