I love postsecret.com. I find it interesting that so many people feel free after they submit their secret or read someone else's.

I've wanted to submit some for a while. I've wanted to share things that I didn't want to tell people, but that I wanted to get off my chest. If I really think about it, though, I kind of want people to read them and to know they were my secrets. Why? I think because it would allow people into that space in my life.

It's weird how I want people to know the deepest parts of my heart and yet I do everything that I can in order to save face.

So here's a not-so-secret secret: I want to fall in love (and to be loved) more than I want anything else in the world.

Life is really all about love isn't it?

When I start asking myself what I want out of life, I come down to the old adage "to love and to be loved in return". That's it. Sure, it'd be nice to save the world or to find a fulfilling career, but those are just additional. I want to love myself, to be able to love others freely, and to be loved fully.

So what practices in my life can I adopt so that I can do those three things well?

That's my journey.
