Secrets




Every Sunday morning, I log on to PostSecret. I just read the secrets on the postcards, then logged on to the Facebook page and read dozens that Facebook members left.

It's liberating to know that so many people feel just as vulnerable and sad as the rest of us are at times.

It's devastating to read how bereft so many young people are, though. So many of them suicidal, cutting, putting themselves in danger.

We are underestimating ourselves if we don't realize the importance of being kind to everyone we meet in a day, there is too much sadness in the world and we may be the only ray of hope for someone on any given day.

It just makes me want to cry.
