Is a secret still secret if you tell everyone?

1. I’ve been to the site before, but I always feel the same way when I read the postcards. I become immediately emotionally invested in the stories these people are telling. I think it’s a good forum for people to open up and get things off their minds, and for people to give or receive support when they need it.
2. I think for the most part, the images portray the secret in a subtle way. It’s not an exact photo of the story the person is telling, but it gives you enough context to feel connected to them. There is the feeling of emotional closeness without an invasion into their lives.
3. The writing brings the reader into the mindset of the writer. Instead of only interpreting what the image means to the writer, the words actually tell the story of what that person is keeping secret from the rest of the world.
4. The words always speak to me more because they actually come from the writer’s mind and heart. The image may help tie the secret in with a visual cue, but without the words there would be nothing personal to it.
5. I picked this secret because I feel like everyone feels this way about themselves no matter what they look like. I feel like this picture is arguing that people feel insecure inside even if they look confident on the outside. Just because someone looks fit and healthy, doesn’t mean that they’ve always been that way. If they have in fact changed in some monumental way, then they might never be able to change on the inside. The girl who looks like a cute, fit adult might still feel like an insignificant fat girl on the inside. People always talk about loving someone for who they are and being comfortable with who they are, but the truth is that people don’t truly think that way all the time. Physical appearance is important to everyone in some way, and it determines how we live our lives.
