Postsecret review 5

This is for the online secrets; the ones that I thought were notable in the Postal Museum will be reviewed in a separate blog post. I'm pretty late on this but I was on vacation earlier this week, hence the lack of blog posts. 

"I found the man I'm supposed to marry on match.com... ... but I can't contact him because I refuse to pay the membership fee." Well, there are a few possible solutions to this. One, google his name. Two, reverse search his profile picture and see what comes up; maybe his social media would come up and you could contact him through there. And honestly, if it's really the man you think you're supposed to marry, I'd think you should be willing to forfeit some money for the membership fee to contact him. It seems silly to abstain from paying the fee to contact someone you think you're supposed to marry. Unless you somehow know that you're only going to be married to him for a short time and then get divorced. 

"People think I've stopped lying...  but I've just gotten better at it." This one is... interesting. Lying is sometimes a useful skill to have, but I don't completely condone it. It definitely depends on the circumstances - if you're lying to awful people that you hate, then that's not so bad. But lying to decent/good people in order to say, maliciously manipulate them, that's not good. 

"I tell everyone you're an artist because I'm too embarrassed to tell them what you really do for a living." I certainly wonder what this person really does for a living. Maybe they're a porn star. 

"Drugs damaged my brain. I wish I could know the man I would've been without them." Two questions: what drugs caused this brain damage, and how severe is it? I'm very curious. Maybe it was methamphetamine, or perhaps cocaine. Or heroin. 

"I crop the people that piss me off out of the company newsletter, for I'm the graphic designer." Well, that's pretty passive aggressive. 

"The only reason I'm an 'avid gardener' is... so when I retire I'll have the... skills to grow 'the most amazing' herb!!" (over pictures of marijuana plants) I guess this person thought that by the time they retired, it would be legal to grow marijuana plants? 

"Visit Ruby Falls - where tour guides want to kill your stupid kids!!" That's an interesting sentiment to have towards one's job.. 

"I comb my heavily shedding dog outside when my asshole neighbors have cookouts. They cannot see me doing it but I can see them freaking out Bon Appetit" Another passive aggressive one. I wonder if they have or will eventually find out where the hair is coming from. I don't think it would be that hard to put two and two together.
