Why is postsecret.com blocked by the West Virginia Board of Education?? What would at all be the purpose for that?!? I mean really. For those who don't know, Post Secret is a site all started by Frank Warren. The point is that people send their secrets into him by mail and each week (on Sunday) he posts some of them to his site. In an interview about postsecret Frank said this, " I think people find some of the funny and sexual postcards amusing but eventually you come across a secret that you might recognize as one of your own. One you might be hiding from yourself. I think it is those moments of epiphany and empathy that have allowed the PostSecret community to grow." For me PostSecret is a place to read secrets, some funny but some meaningful, and when I see what that sounds familiar it lets me know that I'm not alone, that someone else is also going through the same thing as me. It makes me feel better. That is why I think that PostSecret should be unblocked and actually encouraged by schools!
There's always light shining no matter how dark the surroundings!
