Frank Warren is the guy who started it all, and he really does a good job talking about how the secrets offer a glimpse into the true human condition. I honestly don't know how Frank does it- I only check the site weekly at best and there are secrets I've seen that still haunt me years later, he sees massive amounts more, and I'm sure some that are nearly unbearable.
So one of the things that Frank says is that he believes that secrets come in many forms; secrets we keep from others and secrets we keep from ourselves. And then his (apparently) famous "free your secrets and become who you are." This is what I can't get out of my head. I know the secrets I keep from others (well, mostly), but what secrets am I keeping from myself?
and what are those secrets keeping me from becoming?
I dunno. I guess maybe I'm really good at keeping secrets from myself. But now I'm thinking about it. All the time. I've never sent in a secret, but if I did, what would I send? What secret would I share with strangers, anonymously, that I have shared with no one else? Do I just not have the need to share in that way, is that why I can't think of anything, or am I not that deep? Am I avoiding the real questions I need to be asking myself?
What secrets am I keeping?
