post secret!

last week, my secret was published on post secret. honestly made my month. i thought this kind of stuff didn't actually happen, but it does! reassures me that i am heard, that people can talk about what they know and what they feel and actually have people listen. i love that. i love the concept that it's that easy for people to be open and out there and...just thinking that frank read my secret and deemed it worthy. that the mail people all across the united states read it and passed it on. and not just mine, every single post card on that website has been read, has been heard. their stories, their thoughts, their struggles are all be listened to and thought about. i just love that concept. and i wish people in general could practice it more in their everyday lives. could listen and not judge and accept without having a deep connection with said person. i wish i could practice this more. really, really listen. and hear what people, what my friends mean to say and be able to understand. i honestly think i am good at that. understanding what people actually mean, but i want to be able to just...listen. not disect their words and not try to prove how i can relate. just listen to their words.
