PostSecret is an online blog that encourages people to share their dreams, fears, lusts, quirks, and any secret in an anonymous fashion. Those who choose to share a secret find relief and acceptance in revealing their secret(s) because they no longer have to allow the secret to burden them and they often find others who share in their situation.
In Minton, we'll provide cards for you to share your secrets! Then we'll post them on the bulletin board!
