Special postcards picked for this special day about love

Stories from the community
For this exhibition, I searched through a special archive of PostSecret emails to find messages related to Valentine’s Day.
Which of these stories resonates most with your heart? I have a favorite – but I’m keeping that a secret.
Frank,
I sent a postsecret postcard with a drawing of my fiance asleep and a message about changing the alarm to spend more time with her. She found it before I mailed it and now we spend more time together while awake too.
Thanks

I’m hiding pictures of us from the past 13 years under shelves and behind drawers.
My ex-wife takes half the furniture next week. When she finds them years from now, I hope they break her heart.
Thanks, Frank.

I build family furniture as a hobby and hidden forever in the joinery are little loves notes to my wife.

Frank,
Two weeks ago I was placed in a psych ward for attempting to take my own life. I was sitting alone until another boy came up to me a simply said “You’re not the most fucked up person anymore”. Everyone was just like me, dealing with some kind of issue. For the first time in my life I didn’t feel like I was the only one dealing with these things. I felt normal.
Thanks for the secret

“It’s time for us to take a chance.”
My boyfriend and I knew we had to do something important or else our relationship would fall apart.
So we took markers and wrote our deepest secrets on the backs of each other.
I never read his secrets, and he never read mine, but the perilousness of such close contact between us and the other’s demons was what we needed to save our relationship.
Thank you.
Taking a chance
There should be a day, every year — a new holiday: Tell Them Day. A day when we all, together, gather Braveness in our hands and Run (yes! i love you, ‘Run, run, run’ emailer!) to those we love silently, and Sing.
we are here for so short a time. i am leaving to tell him right after i click “send.”
