I don't know why the comic is updating the day after it's supposed to, but it's really obnoxious. Well, at least it updated, right? Hopefully this will be fixed by tomorrow's update, and I apologize again to everyone.

Good morning, busybodies.

Hello, busybodies.

Subject: thank you

Frank,

This past Friday night I found myself in a black hole of depression and I didn't know how I was going to make it through the night. Not knowing where to turn and feeling like I couldn't stop. I remembered seeing the Hopeline phone number in the front of your book. I talked with someone there for 2 and a half hours and I truly feel that they saved my life.

Thank you for the book, thank Hopeline for being there, and thank the people that send in their postcards so that others know they are not alone with their secrets.

Good evening Frank,

I sent you a post card in 2006. I made it on a picture. I liked it a lot. And I guess, so did you, because you posted it that fallowing Sunday. I was excited and happy, until I noticed that YOU HAD CUT OFF HALF OF MY SECRET. Then my excitement and happiness turned into violation and anger... I was so pissed! I didn't know why you had done that! I felt like you had taken my secret, and changed it... and then shown the whole world. I realize now, that you had CUT OFF MY SECRET because it wasn't the 'correct size' of a post card. Which STILL pisses me off, because I have seen a lot of post cards that you have posted, that isn't the "shape" of a fucking post card. But you don't change their wording, or edit them... (or maybe you do.)

Frankly, Frank... I have never, and probably will never sent you another post card again. Because it doesn't feel safe. Because what if you're going to change and alter that one, too? Now I doubt the post cards I see.... if you altered and edited mine, how would I know that you didn't just do the same thing, to some other poor girl, pouring her heart out on a dark night?

Final Kicker: That post card i sent was god themed. It said "Maybe I'll start believeing in G-d..." (and THE PART YOU FUCKING CUT OFF WOULD OF SAID "...Now that I am slowly loosing everything, there seems no better time") I bought your new book... Maybe because I wanted another PS book, or maybe because I was still holding out that I might see my old secret, properly displayed in whole... alas, I was left disappointed that my secret was no where to be found. Anywhere.

So... why am I writing you, 3 years later about a post card you don't remember? I'm not sure. I've started and deleted this same email to you so many times, over the last 3 years. I feel stupid for being this upset over something so silly. That's why I've deleted the past emails...Part of me feels like you deserve to know that you have hurt the feelings of one of your (long time) viewers. I still like Post Secret, I still support you, and I still tell others about this project, but you did take some fire out of my passion. And you did hurt my feelings, and I don't feel safe sharing my secrets with you any more.

But this time Frank, I might just hit the send button...

On this week's post secret there is a picture of a girl with nipple peircings. The strange thing is, that girl looks just like me.. I have straight red hair that color and I am pale and thin just the same. I could send you a picture of myself if you do not understand why I am so upset. Please take it off!!

Frank-
I am typing this to you at the library because I cannot afford a postcard and stamp. My family and I are living in a self-storage unit illegally. It's getting so cold at night. I want them to know I'm sorry, it's my fault, but I can't say it.

Dear Frank,
this past sunday I was with my boyfriend (we are both young christians) after 12:00 and being a postsecret reader I grabbed his laptop to go to the postsecret website. As i typed in the post secret address the computer filled in the url with a pornography website. In my attempt to read other people's secrets, I discovered one of his.

The world works in a funny way sometimes.

Neither my Ivy League degree nor the successful career that followed ever made me happy... The only thing that has worked is taking care of other people -- wondering what would make them happy and doing my best to make it happen.

Dear Frank,

You invited us tell our secrets tonight and I was going to go up but then boom, everyone was up there and I didn't get to tell my secret. I thought about it the whole rest of the night and as I drove home with my boyfriend I started to tell him some of my happy secrets than, the one I fear the most.

I cried my eyes out, the type where you can't breathe, he listened and simply held my hand.

It has never felt so refreshing and wonderful to get something off of your chest after almost 15 years.

Subject: my school painted over our secrets.

I got my first PostSecret book a few weeks ago, and was inspired. A few close friends and I came up with the idea of making a secret wall in the stall of one of the girls bathrooms. It started with about 5 secrets, and within the next few weeks there was about 50. The secrets ranged from crushes to friend problems, and from rape and cutting.

Everyone knew about the secret wall. Today my best friend and I go into the stall to see if there were any new secrets, and all we saw was a large, tan, wall. Our school had painted over the secrets.

Tomorrow i'm starting the wall again.

I managed to get sick last week, but still went on my camping trip this weekend.
I'm not sure what I've got. It started with headache, coughing, loss of appetite, and bad body aches. I might have had a fever, but I only bought a thermometer on monday, so I dunno.
Now it's mostly coughing and stuffy nose. I was a little feverish last night, and I ended up skipping all of my classes yesterday because of it. But it is some taaaasty coughing. I got Kegan sick, too, so we're disgusting little germ incubators together. Means lots of movies and tea for us, though.
