I shared my secret about my suicide attempts which forced me to be honest with myself. Throughout the following weeks this realization has so inspired me that I have decided to volunteer for a teen suicide prevention organization here in Denver. You have changed my life and as a suicide survivor I want to help change the lives of others who are in the same situation I had been. Thank you again and a million times!P.S. Thanks also for signing my journal and for the book ^_^-----Email-----Hey Frank,The PostSecret Event I went to, when you were in Iowa, was the first event in my entire life that I ever attended alone. I've always been afraid to go places: restaurants, movies, the ice cream stand, by myself because I felt that people would think that I was pathetic. I was sad. I wanted to go and a part of me knew that I wouldn't go because I would be alone. As the date of the event grew closer I became upset with myself. I wanted to go. I needed to go. PostSecret has been a part of my life for years, and I had regretted miss the last opportunity I had to go to your event because of work, or so I told myself. I would hate myself for missing again. So the day before the event I called up the box-office selling the tickets and begged them to tell me if they had any tickets left. I was lucky, they did, and I went. That night I told you about my boss, and how she made me feel like I did when I was suicidal. How I felt myself slipping back into that depression, and I was scared because I was alone, 1200 miles away from home. That night I stood up, by myself, in a room of strangers, and told my secret. It has been one of the most defining moments of my life and I am so grateful that I went by myself. I wouldn't have told my secret if I had brought a friend. Tell the person who sent this secret that they won't be truly alone at the event. For the first time, I was in a room surrounded by people, and I didn't feel alone. I've been to events that held 5,000 to 50, 000 people, and was surrounded by friends and family, and I felt more alone than I ever did. But that night, sitting in that seat and standing at that mic, looking up at you on the stage as you shared the world's secrets with us, I knew I wasn't alone. It is one of the most cherished memories I have. Thank you for that, and I hope your secret-bearer goes. He/she won't regret it.-Faith |
