Notes written from a Postsecret.com Diarist
It's funny how Mo Twister mentioned Postsecret.com today, and asked listeners to call in and mention their un-mentionables to the listeners out there.
People have discovered it lately, thanks to the Twister, but it's actually been here for the past three years.Frank Warren is the founder of this award-winning blog, and did you know that it has generated three electrifying books already? Look it up - many of my creative postcards are in the books PostSecret, My Secret, and The Secret Lives of Men and Women.
I've listened to the GoodTimes callers and well, I wasn't really that shocked, although I noticed a pattern today - a girl banging her boyfriend's brother and a boy banging her girlfriend's younger sister. Oops, there's more.It's not just about brothers and sisters really; but it seems, a lot of single women are hooking up with married men in call centers; straight shooting men dabbling with one or two homosexual experiences, and that's just in one radio show today!
Which led the Mohan to be quite didactic sometimes, instructing all the women listeners out there not to leave their man alone with other women inside their homes for a long period of time, especially if it's a friend or a relative. It doesn't matter if they looked like dogs. A man is basically a horndog and can't be trusted with their pitiable selves. He talks about men, but boy oh boy, the Twister has underestimated us women. We can be the baddest asses too.
Is there hope for humankind? Is there a pure soul out there somewhere?
I heard about Grace Lee getting drunk last week-end, and let me tell you, I can see she's on the way down to sin city, or is one foot there already?
I'm writing this postcard because I've seen it all, experienced it all, and guess what, lost it all too. I've lost my husband, child, mother and many other relatives to adultery (why is adultery such a convenient type of sinful behavior?)
I don't want to lecture people, because I hate being told what to do. But just be careful, all actions have consequences. It's a universal law since the beginning of time.
But one thing I've learned, I can't hang out with negative people and expect to live a positive life. I love my friends, but sometimes the best thing one can do is just break way.
I have a responsibility to keep myself healthy and whole. As my mentor said to me : "Don't settle for mediocrity. Never let good enough be just good enough."
Enough about lectures. Just read the books mentioned above or just log in to Postsecrets.com; perhaps learn a lesson or two.
I did learn many many lessons, but by then it was too late.
