Postsecret review 19

And another one.
The current week's secrets are Mother's Day themed.
I don't quite feel like getting to reviewing them right now, but maybe I will later in the week.

Last week's secrets (belated!)
"My biggest fear of becoming a lawyer is becoming a REPUBLICAN"
This is an interesting thought; it complements the subsequent secret about the public radio employee's political beliefs.

"I've been out of the closet for years, but I have to keep my boyfriend a secret because he's a BYU student." (secret is in the Postsecret logo font and BYU is shown on a hoodie, sort of like a collage)
Secrets regarding Mormonism are always interesting.

"I'll be graduating from college soon... without having even been kissed. I feel inhuman."
This is sort of a superficial thing to obsess over and feel inhuman about, in the grand scheme of things. It's not really that big of a deal. Or at least it shouldn't be.

"Sometimes when you came over to our house we pretended we weren't home. Now you are gone and I miss you."
I thought this was an interesting and somewhat unique secret; it makes me wonder what the relationship was between the secret writer and the person the secret is about.

"My public radio job tells me not to admit I'm a dedicated LIBERAL"
I wonder which station the secret writer works for.

"My WEIGHT LOSS secret is Heroin!" (with cartoon faces and speech bubbles drawn around. The speech bubbles say "you look so good!" "God, you're sexy," "Wow! How much weight have you lost?" "What's your secret?")
This is an interesting one. As you know, the concept of drug addiction is sort of morbidly fascinating to me. I wonder how many people have resorted to heroin specifically for the purpose of trying to lose weight.

"I hope I die before I have to worry about retirement"
Morbid, but somewhat understandable, in a way. Live fast, die young, leave a beautiful corpse...
