Dear Frank,

Last night, I attended your PostSecret Event at the University of Oregon. Not only was I blown away by you and everything you do and the secrets that others have shared with you, but I was blown away by the community I am lucky to be a part of.

For months, I have felt so alone here. Last night, I decided to share my secret at the microphone. Right after, I received a hug from the stranger behind me. Not a pity hug, I could feel that she really meant it. After the show, I was approached again a few times and received encouraging words from people I knew and also total strangers. When I returned to my dorm room, I was Facebook messaged by an acquaintance, and emailed by a girl whom I didn't know, but recognized me from a mutual class. It was all so touching, honestly.

Here I have been, in my dorm room for months thinking I'm the loneliest girl in the world, while I'm surrounded by this wonderful community of caring people. What I'm really trying to say is, thank you, Frank, for bringing me closer to my community. And GO DUCKS!

Dear Frank,

I was one of the people that got up to share my secret recently at the Stockton PostSecret event.

I just wanted to share with you just how special it was for me.

I knew that if I could share my secret, the deepest one of all, that I would feel better. When it came time for members of the audience to share, I almost chickened out, I was shaking; I was terrified. I got the first few words out, but I was too overcome to make a single sentence.

And then a girl stood. She walked over, opened her arms, and hugged me. This total stranger, I felt, cared deeply for me. I had never seen her before, nor did I find her after you were finished. But she gave me the courage. Even now, I have goose bumps as well as a feeling of total elation.

It is things like this that give me hope for the future. If a room full of total strangers can band together and support and accept one another unconditionally, then I believe that we're moving in the right direction. PostSecret is so much more than a movement. I truly think that it is a revolution.

I created a fake Facebook page for a girl I didn't like. I made her a lesbian.

Ever since I got on Facebook I don't call my friends.

One of my favorite Blogs is ending next week after four years.

Neil Pasricha started 1000 Awesome Things to call attention to the little beauties and overlooked pleasures that we sometimes miss during our busy days. But what you may not know is that this hopeful project was born out of Neil's broken marriage and other tragedies in his life.

What started as a personal search for healing became an award-winning Blog and series of best-selling books all from a daily reminder that even when our lives feel most troubled, we can always find some awesome too.

#29 Going through the carwash with little kids

#528 When your pet notices you're in a bad mood and comes to see you

#852 The smell of the coffee aisle in the grocery store

Neil surprised me when he told me this post was one of his favorites and the only one out of all 1,000 that does not end with "AWESOME" in all-caps.

(I hope I find the right time to end PostSecret and do it the right way.)

Neil's decision to end his ad-free Blog while it's still popular reminds me of how Bill Watterson ended his comic strip at the height of its' profitability because it was the right thing to do for Calvin and Hobbes.



AWESOME

Hi Frank,

I'm positive you get these every day, but honestly PostSecret has saved my life.

Me and my mother attended your event in Rochester a while back... After the first few minutes of you speaking I got tears in my eyes... It was exactly what I thought it would be!

That event gave me the courage and the strength to tell her I was sexually assaulted... Since then, we've gotten along so much better.

The trauma I carried on my shoulders from what was done to me was heavy enough that I attempted suicide more then once.

So thank you, but I wanna ask you to share something... April is Sexual Assault Awareness month and I can tell you coming out is so hard and sometimes seems hopeless but help IS out there!! And victims can get better!! Don't give up hope!

I'm not a victim... I'm a survivor!
