Secrets

Everyone has secrets. Those who claim otherwise are liars.
There is a wonderful thing called Post Secret. Every week as I browse through the secrets of people countries away who I shall never meet I feel this sense of power. Belonging. Reading about other people's anguish seems to give me... I don't know. Some sort of sick pleasure.
However, it also makes me want to come clean. To tell the world all of my secrets. It makes me think; does everyone else feel the same? Does everyone else feel this desperate yearning to tell the world everything they have ever hidden?
So this is my media project. Entirely original? Perhaps not, but it shall certainly give me and many others the satisfaction of knowing that they are not alone. That secrets are something everyone keeps and they should never have to weigh you down.
I am making a film of secrets. Some big, some small, some funny, some sad. All the secrets of the world. I will encourage people to step forward and control their secrets, rather than let their secrets control them. Anonimity will be an option, of course. However, I would love people to come out with it all. Faces and all.

If I could tell everyone everything about me I would. Of course, that's not always possible. So my plan is to help everyone get a little bit of themselves out there.


This is the begginning. The first of many secrets.
I try to kill myself so that I can a) know I am real b) so that someone might catch me and care enough to save me.
There. It's horrible, but it's true.

So now it is time to get out there and share your secrets. No matter how embarrassing or horrible or immature you feel they are.
