It's that Postsecret time of the week again kids! This week the secrets are really good.. I think there are more than usual and I found a lot that I can relate to, so this is going to be a special extended version of this blog post.
Check out the secrets for yourself by clicking here.
My belief in God has wavered over the year, but I do like to believe that there is some kind of more powerful force than us, that some kind of God exists.And if he does exist in a form similar to us, I do hope he listens to sad songs when he's feeling blue. It can't be easy watching a world that you created descend into war and poverty, and see it destroyed by natural disasters and human activity. I reckon a bit of The Cinematic Orchestra on repeat might help him to think straight, just like me.
The next two secrets sort of contradict each other but I will explain why I have included both of them.
I like this secret because it is very honest. Having both suffered from mental illness and been in a relationship with someone with a mental illness I know that maintaining a relationship can be difficult. I think in that kind of relationship it does sometimes feel like you are having a relationship with the illness and not the person, and that is a challenge. But that person wouldn't be who they are without that illness, and if you love that person, it shouldn't matter. It does complicate things, and sometimes you just feel like giving up, but it's not always bad. I think the person who wrote this secret was going through a difficult stage. I know I've felt that way sometimes.
This is my favourite secret from this week's postcards. When suffering from a mental illness it can be really difficult to see yourself as an individual, as opposed to a statistic. But I found that there are certain people out there who can help you to rediscover yourself. I owe my sanity to my brilliant friends who stuck by me through the darkest times and made me realise that I was still a person.
