Can you define your life in six words?
Written by Lauren. Filed Under lauren, life, love, personal, photography, relationships, university, webpages
I don’t know about some of the other fiveblondes, but my favourite website is Postsecret.com, and two of my favourite books are the two Postsecret books I own. Every weekend I (unlike most people) get excited for Sunday to roll around so that I can jump over to Postsecret.com and look at all the new secrets!
Even though I will always love Postsecret, I’ve found a couple of new sites/books kind of like it! One is Six Word Memoirs. This is a site where people post about their lives in SIX WORDS! It could be a part of their life, or something they’ve experienced, but I still find it fascinating! While I was looking at the Postsecret book on Amazon, it recommended me a book (don’t you love it when they recommend you books?). This book was called “Other People’s Love Letters: 150 Letters You Were Never Meant To See”. This is by far the cutest book EVER! It has original pictures of love letters from random people that were found in random places around the world. Some of them are even on things like cocktail napkins, and some of them are heartbreak, like the word “liar” written 183 times.
Hope you enjoyed these books/sites, because I LOVE them!
Anyone else have any books like these that they love? Share!
By the way, I should probably STOP making blog posts in order to keep away from studying. I have a feeling it won’t be very helpful to my successful university career…

I’m in Windsor! Postsecret anyone??
Sometimes when I have huge major life questions (okay let’s face it, that doesn’t happen very often but still) I go on post secret on Sunday and decide that the answer to my question telling me what decision I should make will be in someone’s secret and it ALWAYS is. I’m talking literally, not even figuratively. It’s so weird, I love it. Postsecret has never led me astray. When I was deciding if I wanted to go to teacher’s college I looked at postsecret and one secret was a picture of a classroom with the words “Even if I had a million dollars I wouldn’t quit my job. I love it.”

I guess I should have read my invitation more closely, I know it was Nov. 17th at least. What would go on at a postsecret event? Would it be like an art exhibit do we think?
Postsecret events are like really fun lectures! Way better than art exhibits. We should go for sure!
Here’s the facebook event:

Hey- Lauren wrote that amazing post and then you guys go and plan an event about it that Lauren can’t even go to! I think you owe it to her to pick her up and take her with you! It will only take an extra 2 days!

hmm…I can book the day off, but as I can’t drive I can only go if there is someone going back to London-ish that night.
We should be doing this in all six word sentences! Here is mine:
Wishing I could, do the impossible.
