         | The project vaguely reminds me of PostSecret[1].
         | 
         | I found the PostSecret book in a common area while I was in
         | college. I had never heard of PostSecret beforehand.
         | 
         | I read through, and for some reason was compelled to
         | anonymously inscribe it with my own "secret." I left the book,
         | now containing my deepest darkest fear, for someone else to
         | discover.
         | 
         | At the time I was struggling emotionally and this process was
         | incredibly cathartic. I felt lighter by an order of magnitude.
         | 
         | I learned a lot that day about the power of getting things off
         | my chest and cutting myself slack. Those "simple" lessons have
         | served me nearly daily in the decade+ since.
