Sometimes it is like not being able to look away from a road accident. If even half of those secrets are genuine, the world is more full of heartbreak than I ever suspected.

I always gardened there and redesigned in my mind and often imagined that I was reading there on sunny summer afternoons. Also I am a lifetime member of the Kingdom of Narnia in my heart. Your up-close floral pictures were stunning. I would like to paint them. I am not Georgia O'Keefe, so I am not sure I can do them justice, but they are truely inspiring!

I've loved putting it together. You can leave as many 'overlong' comments here as you like, Megan! Oh, and I think you're spot on that Postsecret highlights that we are more similar than we often think. Thanks Megan :-) I’m so glad you enjoyed the series, Zhu! I’ve loved putting it together.

Then I really looked at it, and I couldn't believe how my heart went out to all these strangers with their secrets and how some of the other ones just made me smile. I don't think there's a way to describe exactly how it makes me feel, but sometimes I think the word "universal" is closest the mark because don't we all have something like what we see on these cards- stuff that we wish we could do, ways we've been hurt that nobody seemed to notice, things that we know that we wish we didn't? It just kind of gives the impression that underneath the facade we're all more the same than we are different. I can definitely see the inspiration potential there. I mean, it did just inspire me to write this overlong comment, after all. ;-) I didn’t “get” Postsecret for a long time…I don’t think I was even really interested in trying to get it.

I have just read all the posts in a row and got some great ideas. Like you, it took me a while to get into Postasecret... but I'm addicted now! Most are really touching. Good series!
