Post Secret

I'm usually always one of those that looks forward to the new updates on Sundays. Something about hearing other people's troubles and seeing some that match mine makes me feel a little better.
I've never really thought to send one in. I'm too afraid to.
But Frank called for people to text their secrets to strangers yesterday.
Now, this may come off as a stupid idea to some people, but for me it sounded like a godsend.
I've been depressed a lot lately. And being able to say what I was feeling and why right when I needed to has made me feel a lot better.
What's made me feel even better is when people respond back with their own. And when you're able to help them. Like this person.

"My secret: I'm scared I've forgotten how to love. Does it even exist?"

To which I replied back:
"It does exist. And when you find it, you'll remember everything you need to know. <3"

They wrote back saying thank you and that they needed to hear that. Call me weird, but that was insanely liberating. This has helped me to decide that I want to be completely open about things on this blog. New life, new view right? I'm going to see this more as a place for me to speak, as opposed to me using it to tell people about things. It's something I've realized I need. I'll still update with my knitting news and all that good stuff. But just expect a far more honest me. :)
