Honestly, I found the website very depressing. I stopped readsing after:
"At my college we have a bulletin board inspired by PostSecret. One day a photograph of a sunset was posted. Written across the photo in white ink it said "sometimes I wonder if anyone would care if I didn't wake up in the morning". A few weeks later another photograph was posted. This was a photo of a sunrise. In white ink it said "yes, I would". . . I wish I could tell the person "thank-you" because the sunset was mine."
I found it extemely sad and do not understand why anyone who was seeking help would read it. I feel it would only fuel their upset thoghts and emotions. Apparently it makes people feel better to annonmously admit thier secrets but I don't think that would really help me if I had something that deep to hide. I think that this blog has a lot of people who really are trying to escape thier secrets but I also think that somtimes people put things on there just to be funny like this:

However, that may not be the case. I read a lot of websites like Texts From Last Night and FML and it's usually people tlaking about embarassing or awful situations and are kind of laughing about them. So maybe that's why I look at this website as depressing. If it were me, I would put it on a website and make a joke of it like people do on other sites. But like I said before, apparently it helps some people so if it does, I'm glad it works for them.
I agree that the website was very depressing. I understand the need for it I guess, but it makes me sad that there is so much loneliness in the world. I'm sure some of those people do have people in their lives they could talk to but they just choose not to.
ReplyDeleteIt is horribly depressing, I mean, sometimes there are funny secrets or less than depressing ones, but for the most part it is very sad. I can definitely understand why you didn't like it.
ReplyDeleteI think it could be sad but it's also showing a sense of realness to how people are feeling. There were other things that were humorous and not as sad.
