Rejected Secrets

If you haven't visited PostSecret.com yet, you're really missing out. It's a site where secrets, written out on postcards in an artistic expression, are mailed in by people wishing to anonymously confess them to the world. Some are cleverly humorous, some are tragic, while others really make you think about your own life when you realize the parallels between the secrets of others and your own.

The identity of the people submitting their secrets is always kept hidden; only their handwriting or their particular style of expression could give them away to people who really know them. Occasionally, however, some secrets are sent in that border on being too controversial to post. Not because of the subject matter, (Post Secret posts some rather outrageous secrets sometimes) but rather, the anonymity of the one sending in their secret would be too identifiable, and so, to protect the interest of both parties, these submissions are usually shredded or filed.

After doing a bit of research, I was able to uncover some of the secrets that have fallen into this category and feel that if these individuals put forth the time and effort to send them in, they should be shown. I present to you now, the rejected secrets.
















...and don't worry, your secret's safe with me.
