To the girl at tonight’s PostSecret event: I have trichotillomania too. (So does the girl who sat two rows in front of me). I wanted to jump up and give you a big hug for sharing, because nobody talks about this and we should. I am inspired. Thank you.

–Me too!

  4. Oprah fad? Hardly. All the info you need is in last week’s issue about Post Secret. I wasn’t able to attend the event, but I do have all his books. The basic idea is to liberate yourself from your secrets by anonymously putting them on a postcard. Many people have gotten quite creative at it, and that’s why there are books.

  5. its an interesting premise, but can be rather cringeworthy. “i like to eat garbage” “i can tie my penis in a knot” etc.
