Someone Else's Secret


Postsecret is one of my favorite places. People write their secrets on postcards and send them in to Frank Warren, who then picks the best and puts them up on his blog.

Earlier this year, this secret appeared on the website. It reads:

"I am learning Hindi so that when I meet your parents, I can tell them I love you."

I'm Indian. My parents speak perfect English. But I wish someone would both understand me enough to know how much this would mean, and love me enough to do this for me.

I hope the writer got their chance to say it.

I hope that one day, someone will love my child enough to write a secret like this for them. (I hope that for me too.)
