"I’ve always thought it would be kind of interesting if, when we die, we got to watch our lives play out like a movie."

This is such an interesting thought; it was a pleasure writing music to it. Thanks for calling in.

Love Your Customer Service Rep

Digging the hole in the backyard, while all three of them stood next to me weeping, was one of the saddest things I’ve ever done.

Burrying The Kitten

We could do so much if we all looked around us everyday and smiled or said hello.

Look Around and Smile

Empty Sex
I have been waiting to share this for ages because it's making me feel awful. And I'm hoping that there's somebody else in the room who kind of does something similar or feels the same way. But, I have a boyfriend who I do really, really love. But, I have sex with other people, because it's the only thing that makes me feel worth anything and helps my depression. But, then afterwards, I feel emptier than ever.

"An incredible emotional journey for all the senses..." - Neil Pasricha, Author of The Book of Awesome

"If you like @ThisAmerLife, you'll love the spoken secrets in http://PostSecretAlbum.com First person. Intimate. Surprising. Made me cry." - Tony Deifell of AwesomeBox.com

"PostSecret: The Album highlights our common humanity and brings the power of sharing our secrets to a new level." - Sara R. Abelson, MPH of Active Minds Inc.

On PostSecret: The Album, you’ll hear from a man who’s living five lives, and an immigrant who’s starting her life over. There’s a woman who’s been cheating on her husband, and a marriage proposal.

During the 2013 PostSecret Live: UK and Ireland Tour, with hundreds of people listening on, strangers shared their deepest secrets. In PostSecret: The Album, Frank Warren curates recordings of some of the best. Accompanied by the music of One Hello World, the tracks transport listeners to the invigorating atmosphere of a PostSecret: Live event, and provide a unique musical perspective on stories heard only once before.

In the bonus tracks, Frank tells the story of the PostSecret project, as well as some secrets of his own.

The album will release in the fall of 2014.

Through Anxiety, Fatigue, and Fear

You Don't Know When Tomorrow Won't Come

A Proposal

Consider It

What's For You Won't Go By You

You Will Find It

We Will Do a Brilliant Job of It

When My Flat Mate Died

"I realize now that I at least deserved to be loved as much as I loved. To be treated with respect and thoughtfulness. I will know you will do those things. You will piece my heart back together and show me what real love is supposed to be like. And everyday you will astound me with how wonderful life can be with the right person by my side. For now, I'm waiting patiently. I love you."

Hope gives us the patience to find the person who will reciprocate all the affection we have to give.

To My Future Love

"I feel like if we just love everybody, it would be such a better place."

Thanks for calling in. I like nice people too.

Such A Better Place

"I feel like so many people walk through life as though they’re play-dough, waiting for other people to form and shape their lives, living in this reactionary state."

You’re not one of those people.

Life Can Be Beautiful

"We could go hours without talking and I could read you with your eyes, the wry grin on your face and the music. That'll always be a part of who I am. In some ways, the sweet symphony of your voice, the life that we had will forever be written upon my heart and flowing throughout the auditorium of my being."

Music does so much to express how we feel. Thanks for calling.

You Speak To Me Through Music

"I give so much credit to him and everyone who believes in something. Wether or not you support the movement or not. You know, just imagining someone having that much passion for something is inspiring enough, isn't it?"

Selflessness is such an admirable quality. Thanks for your perspective.

My Friend Lost Everything He Owned in the Occupy Wall Street Eviction

"You know, it was always interesting to me, calling these adults, talking to them. It kind of made me wonder, maybe they were just as lonely as I was when I was kid."

Sometimes, making conversation with a stranger can be an adventure. Thanks for calling, from somebody who loves receiving phone calls from strangers. <3

He Writes Music to Voicemails

"Where is this magical life they promised us (that we read about, that they taught us)?"

The "you-can-be-anything-you-want-to-be-Disney-princess-generation" is all grown up. Thanks for calling.

Where Has All the Happiness Gone?

"I'm turning 26 in a couple of months and I think about my whole life being single: never experiencing a true relationship - a true love. A part of me wonders if it's going to make it that much more special when I do find someone."

You'll find someone (and you'll be certain of love when you do). Thanks for calling.

I've Never Been In Love

"It was platonic, but at the same time so much more than that. One night, it stopped being that way: and your hands found my hands and my legs found your legs - it grew and... "

"As the other woman, I can tell you that it's no use to be the backdrop to someone else's life."

Thanks for calling.

The Backdrop to Someone Else's Life

"I think that loneliness is a term that's misconceived by everybody. There's two different things: there's being alone and there's being lonely. I've learned loneliness is only something you invite when you're by yourself. And I can be by myself and be completely happy."

I very much enjoy my solitary time, too. Thanks for calling.

Alone But Not Lonely

"Happiness is a feeling I thought I'd forgotten and I thought I'd never have it again. But I'm here to tell you that for the first time in years, I'm not just existing - I'm living. I'm seeing the beauty in everything like I've never even opened my eyes before. Getting clean is not easy. If you ask me, I think it's a train wreck. But it's so worth it."

Of course I remember you and I'm glad to hear you're doing well. I hope your story stands as an inspiration for anybody who is fighting drug addiction - it gets better. Thanks for calling (again).

This call was a follow up to: http://soundcloud.com/one_hello_world/working-with-chimps-helped-me

Seeing the Beauty Like I've Never Opened My Eyes Before

"I just want to finally be able to say that I'm gay without being afraid of getting hurt. To be able to go out and actually find someone that I can marry and settle down with later on in life. To just finally find the happiness I've been longing for for several years."

Happy National Coming Out Day. I hope that you that someday soon you can be in a place where you can be true to yourself and feel safe. Thanks for calling.
