Description

Mt grandmother used to mail me postcards like this (blank ones) so I would write to her. She died seven years ago, and I just found this one in the attic. I'm sorry, Grandma. ...I should have written more." The second-to-worst PostSecret book. The term for most of these secrets today is "vaguebooking." Other secrets are targeted at a single person, as if the creator were more interested in shaming that one person rather than bearing their soul. Some aren't even secrets so much as they are, "Look at me!" statements or competitive introversion.

I still look at your 3rd grade picture and think what might have happened...If I hadn't moved 825 miles away."

Boxing faces a fight for its soul

Casey, Laura. (March 4, 2009) "Walnut Creek hosts 800 PostSecret fans at Lesher Center," East Bay Times. Retrieved on August 1, 2016. In 6th grade I read something about, father's molesting their daughters. So, I stopped hugging my dad for over a year. I love my father. I can't imagine how much I hurt him."

The concept of the project was that completely anonymous people decorate a postcard and portray a secret that they had never previously revealed. No restrictions are made on the content of the secret; only that it must be completely truthful and must never have been spoken before. Entries range from admissions of sexual misconduct and criminal activity to confessions of secret desires, embarrassing habits, hopes and dreams. [1] I have great difficulty dismissing the possibility that the submitters for this book were not operating under similar motives. In elementary school, I stated lying and telling everybody I was allergic to peanuts. This is my first peanut butter cup in years. I had to eat it in the car so my fiance wouldn't see. He thinks I'm allergic to them too."

We thought that we would look cool to the high schoolers (through osmosis, evidently, as it was a secret questionnaire). Frank Warren has compiled his secret postcards into several volumes now but this book was my first experience with them. My son gave it to me for Christmas - a friend recommended it to him and he knew this was something I would find intriguing. I did! I loved it. This book is geared toward sharing the secrets of younger people. Not sure exactly how he knew the senders age group but I can see from the photo and topics that he might have made a fairly accurate guess. When you were in the ICU I took your picture. I wanted you to see what you looked like, so that you might go to rehab. I never showed you the pictures, you never went into rehab and I never forgave myself. I am so sorry." However, Warren seems not to favour too many people and the score-settling escalates to industrial levels akin to Father Ted’s Golden Cleric acceptance speech. Boxing promoter rivals, especially father and son Barry and Eddie Hearn (“Eddie’s hardly had to do it the hard way”), are shown no mercy. Neither are boxers Barry McGuigan (“another who disappointed me”) and Chris Eubank, whose reputation Warren destroys with one hideous anecdote, while Frank Bruno’s ex-wife Laura is “an absolute pain”.
