Just a little place where you guys can share your thoughts. You can let your identity be known, or maintain your anonymity [please include that in your note]. This will be updated with each response. Just note/e-mail them to me with the subject: For the Journal of Thanks. Feel free to comment.

Thank you. Just... thank you.

"I appreciate the comments my postsecret received and although it hasn't changed my way of thinking or view on the subject, it's nice to know that there are sympathetic people out there who don't criticize the flaws in others."

"Although no one commented on my secret, seeing that there were a couple people who faved it (Thank you), let me know that there are those that understand how I feel. I'm not a bad person for feeling hurt and bitter, for what one of my (supposed) best friends did. I always thought that drama like that between friends were only in the movies. Ha. But I do love how there's a place where I can allow myself to let my pain go. It's a very slow process, but this is my first step."

"I just wanted to thank the people that took the time to look at my secrets, and left such comforting comments. I would personally message those people, if I weren't so insecure in letting them know who I am. But just know that I do appreciate those comments. You know? When I see some of the messages left on the postsecret blog, I always feel a sense of warmth; as if there really are good people out there. I always wondered how it would feel to be one of those people that had their secret posted and had someone send a message about it. Now I know how it feels. So when I'm feeling a bit down, I can just reread those comments, and feel GOOD. I'm not alone after all."
