Binary Blonde

This is an update to my PostSecret dilemma.

To elaborate on the status of our friendship: I do know her very well, so I took a chance and sent her an email.

Thankfully, in this case, she had no idea what PostSecret even was, but she did guess which card I thought was hers and said the writing on it was eerily similar.

She actually thanked me for being concerned and reaching out to her, even though it was a difficult subject. So, in the end it all worked out.

Thank you for all your advice! I really did take note of all of it, but in the end realised that to be a great friend sometimes you need to ask uncomfortable questions and be prepared for whatever the answer might be.

I read PostSecret every week and I marvel at some of the postcards people send in. This week, however, as I was scrolling down the page, one of them caught my eye.

It’s one of the “depressing” ones, so I really don’t feel like posting it here, but it’s the fourth one up from the bottom.

The reason it caught me eye? One of my dear friends has pretty distinct hand writing and I could swear that the writing on the card is hers.

I’m thinking about sending her an email asking if she sent it in, because as one of her friends I know that the subject matter in question happened to her last year, except for that last part of the sentence.

I’m hoping that it’s not her hand writing, but I have this sinking feeling that it is. I know that people send in those secrets so they can remain anonymous, but I would feel awful knowing that she is in such pain and I couldn’t help her through it.

If you were in my shoes, would you send her an email asking if it were hers or just leave it alone?
