Hi, my name is Frank,

2000
Ola, o meu nome é Frank
00:17
and I collect secrets.
1
2000
2000
e colecciono segredos.
00:19
It all started with a crazy idea
2
4000
2000
Todo comezou cunha idea tola
00:21
in November of 2004.
3
6000
3000
en novembro do 2004.
00:24
I printed up 3,000 self-addressed postcards,
4
9000
3000
Imprimín máis de 3000 postais
coa miña dirección,
coa miña dirección,
00:27
just like this.
5
12000
2000
xusto coma esta.
00:29
They were blank on one side,
6
14000
2000
Estaban en branco por un lado,
00:31
and on the other side
7
16000
2000
e no outro lado
00:33
I listed some simple instructions.
8
18000
2000
listei unhas instrucións sinxelas.
00:35
I asked people to anonymously share an artful secret
9
20000
3000
Pedínlle a xente que compartise
anonimamente un segredo enxeñoso
anonimamente un segredo enxeñoso
00:38
they'd never told anyone before.
10
23000
3000
que nunca lle contaran a ninguén.
00:41
And I handed out these postcards randomly
11
26000
2000
E repartín esas postais ó azar
00:43
on the streets of Washington, D.C.,
12
28000
2000
polas rúas de Washington D.C.
00:45
not knowing what to expect.
13
30000
2000
sen saber que agardar.
00:47
But soon the idea began spreading virally.
14
32000
3000
Pero a idea deseguida
empezou a expandirse.
empezou a expandirse.
00:50
People began to buy their own postcards
15
35000
3000
A xente empezou a mercar
as súas propias postais
as súas propias postais
00:53
and make their own postcards.
16
38000
2000
e a facer as súas propias postais.
00:55
I started receiving secrets in my home mailbox,
17
40000
3000
Comecei a recibir segredos
na caixa de correo da miña casa,
na caixa de correo da miña casa,
00:58
not just with postmarks from Washington, D.C.,
18
43000
3000
non só con mataselos de Washington D.C.,
01:01
but from Texas, California,
19
46000
2000
senón de Texas, California,
01:03
Vancouver, New Zealand, Iraq.
20
48000
3000
Vancouver, Nova Zelandia, Iraq.
01:06
Soon my crazy idea didn't seem so crazy.
21
51000
4000
De súpeto a miña tolemia
non parecía tal tolemia.
non parecía tal tolemia.
01:10
PostSecret.com
22
55000
2000
PostSecret.com
01:12
is the most visited advertisement-free blog in the world.
23
57000
4000
é o blog sen publicidade
máis visitado do mundo.
máis visitado do mundo.
01:16
And this is my postcard collection today.
24
61000
3000
E esta é a miña colección de postais
no presente.
no presente.
01:21
You can see my wife
25
66000
2000
Podedes ver á miña muller
01:23
struggling to stack a brick of postcards
26
68000
2000
intentando amorear un montón de postais
01:25
on a pyramid of over a half-million secrets.
27
70000
4000
nunha pirámide
de máis de medio millón de segredos.
de máis de medio millón de segredos.
01:29
What I'd like to do now
28
74000
2000
O que me gustaría facer agora
01:31
is share with you a very special handful of secrets
29
76000
3000
é compartir con vós
unha manda moi especial de segredos
unha manda moi especial de segredos
01:34
from that collection,
30
79000
2000
desa colección,
01:36
starting with this one.
31
81000
3000
empezando por este.
01:40
"I found these stamps as a child,
32
85000
3000
"Atopei estes selos cando era neno,
01:43
and I have been waiting all my life
33
88000
2000
e agardei toda a vida
01:45
to have someone to send them to.
34
90000
3000
a ter alguén a quen mandarllos.
01:48
I never did have someone."
35
93000
2000
Nunca tiven a ninguén."
01:50
Secrets can take many forms.
36
95000
2000
Os segredos poden adoptar moitas formas.
01:52
They can be shocking
37
97000
2000
Poden ser impactantes,
01:54
or silly or soulful.
38
99000
3000
parvos ou conmovedores.
01:57
They can connect us to our deepest humanity
39
102000
3000
Poden conectarnos
coa nosa humanidade máis profunda
coa nosa humanidade máis profunda
02:00
or with people we'll never meet.
40
105000
3000
ou con xente que nunca coñeceremos.
02:06
(Laughter)
41
111000
8000
Poño descafeinado ós clientes
que son groseiros comigo! (Risos)
que son groseiros comigo! (Risos)
02:14
Maybe one of you sent this one in.
42
119000
2000
Pode que un de vós enviara este.
02:16
I don't know.
43
121000
2000
Non o sei.
02:18
This one does a great job of demonstrating
44
123000
2000
Este amosa moi ben
02:20
the creativity that people have
45
125000
2000
a creatividade da xente
02:22
when they make and mail me a postcard.
46
127000
2000
cando fan e me envían unha postal.
02:24
This one obviously was made out of half a Starbucks cup
47
129000
3000
Esta obviamente está feita
coa metade dun vaso do Starbucks
coa metade dun vaso do Starbucks
02:27
with a stamp and my home address written on the other side.
48
132000
4000
cun selo e a miña dirección
escrita no outro lado.
escrita no outro lado.
02:33
"Dear Birthmother, I have great parents.
49
138000
3000
"Querida nai biolóxica,
teño uns pais xeniais.
teño uns pais xeniais.
02:36
I've found love. I'm happy."
50
141000
3000
Atopei amor. Son feliz".
02:41
Secrets can remind us of the countless human dramas,
51
146000
3000
Os segredos poden lembrarnos
os incontables dramas humanos,
os incontables dramas humanos,
02:44
of frailty and heroism,
52
149000
3000
debilidades e heroísmo,
02:47
playing out silently
53
152000
2000
actuando silandeiramente
02:49
in the lives of people all around us
54
154000
2000
nas vidas da xente do noso arredor
02:51
even now.
55
156000
3000
mesmo agora.
02:55
"Everyone who knew me before 9/11
56
160000
4000
"Todo o mundo que me coñecía antes do 11S
02:59
believes I'm dead."
57
164000
3000
cre que estou morto".
03:08
"I used to work with a bunch of uptight religious people,
58
173000
3000
"Adoitaba traballar cunha manda
de persoas relixiosas pechadas,
de persoas relixiosas pechadas,
03:11
so sometimes I didn't wear panties,
59
176000
2000
así que de cando en vez non levaba bragas
03:13
and just had a big smile and chuckled to myself."
60
178000
3000
e simplemente amosaba
un gran sorriso e ría por dentro".
un gran sorriso e ría por dentro".
03:16
(Laughter)
61
181000
5000
(Risos)
03:24
This next one takes a little explanation before I share it with you.
62
189000
3000
O seguinte precisa unha pequena explicación
antes de que volo ensine.
antes de que volo ensine.
03:27
I love to speak on college campuses
63
192000
3000
Encántame falar nos campus universitarios
03:30
and share secrets and the stories with students.
64
195000
2000
e compartir segredos e historias
cos estudantes.
cos estudantes.
03:32
And sometimes afterwards I'll stick around
65
197000
3000
E ás veces quedo despois
03:35
and sign books and take photos with students.
66
200000
3000
e asino libros e fágome fotos
cos estudantes.
cos estudantes.
03:38
And this next postcard was made
67
203000
2000
E a seguinte postal está feita
03:40
out of one of those photos.
68
205000
2000
cunha desas fotos.
03:42
And I should also mention that, just like today,
69
207000
2000
E tamén debo mencionar que,
igual que hoxe,
igual que hoxe,
03:44
at that PostSecret event,
70
209000
2000
no evento de PostSecret,
03:46
I was using a wireless microphone.
71
211000
3000
estaba a usar un micrófono sen cables.
03:51
"Your mic wasn't off during sound check.
72
216000
2000
"O teu micrófono non estaba apagado
durante a proba de son.
durante a proba de son.
03:53
We all heard you pee."
73
218000
2000
Todos te escoitamos mexar".
03:55
(Laughter)
74
220000
9000
(Risos)
04:04
This was really embarrassing when it happened,
75
229000
2000
Isto foi moi avergoñante cando sucedeu,
04:06
until I realized it could have been worse.
76
231000
5000
ata que me decatei
de que podería ser peor.
de que podería ser peor.
04:11
Right. You know what I'm saying.
77
236000
3000
Sabedes o que quero dicir.
04:14
(Laughter)
78
239000
3000
(Risos)
04:17
"Inside this envelope
79
242000
2000
"Dentro deste sobre
04:19
is the ripped up remains
80
244000
2000
están os anacos rotos
04:21
of a suicide note I didn't use.
81
246000
2000
dunha carta de suicidio que non usei.
04:23
I feel like the happiest person on Earth (now.)"
82
248000
4000
Síntome como a persoa
máis feliz do mundo (agora)".
máis feliz do mundo (agora)".
04:31
"One of these men is the father of my son.
83
256000
3000
"Un destes homes é o pai do meu fillo.
04:34
He pays me a lot to keep it a secret."
84
259000
3000
Pagoume unha morea
para que mantivera o segredo".

04:37
(Laughter)
85
262000
8000
(Risos)
04:47
"That Saturday when you wondered where I was,
86
272000
3000
"Aquel sábado
que te preguntabas onde estaba,
que te preguntabas onde estaba,
04:50
well, I was getting your ring.
87
275000
2000
ben, estaba mercando o teu anel.
04:52
It's in my pocket right now."
88
277000
2000
Está no meu peto nestes momentos".
04:54
I had this postcard posted on the PostSecret blog
89
279000

Publiquei esta postal
no blog de PostSecret

04:57
two years ago on Valentine's Day.
90
282000

hai dous anos no día de San Valentín.
04:59
It was the very bottom, the last secret in the long column.
91
284000
3000
Estaba abaixo de todo,
o último segredo da longa columna.
o último segredo da longa columna.
05:02
And it hadn't been up for more than a couple hours
92
287000
3000
E non pasaran máis de un par de horas
05:05
before I received this exuberant email
93
290000
2000
cando recibín este exuberante e-mail
05:07
from the guy who mailed me this postcard.
94
292000
2000
do rapaz que me enviara esta postal.
05:09
And he said, "Frank, I've got to share with you
95
294000
3000
Dicía: "Frank, teño que compartir contigo
05:12
this story that just played out in my life."
96
297000
2000
a historia que acaba de pasar
na miña vida".
na miña vida".
05:14
He said, "My knees are still shaking."
97
299000
3000
Dicía: "Os meus xeonllos
aínda están a tremer".
aínda están a tremer".
05:17
He said, "For three years, my girlfriend and I,
98
302000
3000
Dicía: "Hai tres anos
que a miña moza e máis eu
que a miña moza e máis eu
05:20
we've made it this Sunday morning ritual
99
305000
2000
temos o ritual matinal dos domingos
05:22
to visit the PostSecret blog together
100
307000
2000
de visitar o blog de PostSecret xuntos
05:24
and read the secrets out loud.
101
309000
2000
e ler os segredos en voz alta.
05:26
I read some to her, she reads some to me."
102
311000
3000
Eu léolle uns a ela,
ela leme outros a min".
ela leme outros a min".
05:29
He says, "It's really brought us closer together
103
314000
2000
Dicía: "iso realmente nos uniu
05:31
through the years.
104
316000
2000
durante estes anos.
05:33
And so when I discovered
105
318000
2000
E entón cando descubrín
05:35
that you had posted
106
320000
2000
que colgaras
05:37
my surprise proposal to my girlfriend at the very bottom,
107
322000
2000
a miña proposición sorpresa
para a miña moza ó final de todo,
para a miña moza ó final de todo,
05:39
I was beside myself.
108
324000
2000
estaba fóra de min.
05:41
And I tried to act calm, not to give anything away.
109
326000
2000
Intentei actuar con calma,
non amosar nada.
non amosar nada.
05:43
And just like every Sunday,
110
328000
2000
E coma cada domingo
05:45
we started reading the secrets out loud to each other."
111
330000
4000
comezamos a ler os segredos
en voz alto un ó outro".
en voz alto un ó outro".
05:49
He said, "But this time it seemed like it was taking her forever
112
334000
3000
Dicía: "pero esta vez
parecía que tardaba anos
parecía que tardaba anos
05:52
to get through each one."
113
337000
2000
en pasar dun ó outro".
05:54
But she finally did.
114
339000
2000
Pero finalmente o fixo.
05:56
She got to that bottom secret, his proposal to her.
115
341000
3000
Chegou o segredo do final,
a súa proposición para ela.
a súa proposición para ela.
05:59
And he said, "She read it once and then she read it again."
116
344000
5000
E dicía: "leuno unha vez,
e despois o volveu ler."
e despois o volveu ler."
06:04
And she turned to him and said,
117
349000
2000
Virouse cara el e lle dixo.
06:06
"Is that our cat?"
118
351000
2000
"Non é ese o noso gato?"
06:08
(Laughter)
119
353000
8000
(Risos)
06:16
And when she saw him,
120
361000
2000
E cando o mirou
06:18
he was down on one knee, he had the ring out.
121
363000
2000
estaba cun xeonllo no chan,
ensinándolle o anel.
ensinándolle o anel.
06:20
He popped the question, she said yes. It was a very happy ending.
122
365000
3000
Fíxolle a pregunta, dixo que si.
Foi un final moi feliz.
Foi un final moi feliz.
06:23
So I emailed him back
123
368000
2000
Así que lle respondín
06:25
and I said, "Please share with me an image, something,
124
370000
2000
e lle dixen, "Por favor,
mándame unha imaxe ou algo
mándame unha imaxe ou algo
06:27
that I can share with the whole PostSecret community
125
372000
3000
que poida compartir
con toda a comunidade de PostSecret
con toda a comunidade de PostSecret
06:30
and let everyone know your fairy tale ending."
126
375000
3000
para que todo o mundo saiba
o final da túa historia de conto".
o final da túa historia de conto".
06:33
And he emailed me this picture.
127
378000
2000
E mandoume esta fotografía.
06:35
(Laughter)
128
380000
4000
(Risos)
06:40
"I found your camera at Lollapalooza this summer.
129
385000
3000
"Atopei a túa cámara
en Lollapalooza este verán.
en Lollapalooza este verán.
06:43
I finally got the pictures developed
130
388000
3000
Por fin as levei a revelar
06:46
and I'd love to give them to you."
131
391000
4000
e gustaríame darchas".
06:50
This picture never got returned back
132
395000
2000
Esta fotografía nunca foi devolta
06:52
to the people who lost it,
133
397000
3000
á xente que a perdera,
06:55
but this secret has impacted many lives,
134
400000
3000
pero este segredo
impactou en moitas vidas,
impactou en moitas vidas,
06:58
starting with a student up in Canada
135
403000
2000
empezando cun estudante de Canadá
07:00
named Matty.
136
405000
2000
chamado Matty.
07:02
Matty was inspired by that secret
137
407000
2000
Matty inspirouse neste segredo
07:04
to start his own website,
138
409000
2000
para empezar o seu propio sitio web,
07:06
a website called IFoundYourCamera.
139
411000
3000
unha web chamada IFoundYourCamera.
07:09
Matty invites people
140
414000
2000
Matty invita a xente
07:11
to mail him digital cameras that they've found,
141
416000
3000
a enviarlle cámaras dixitais que atoparan,
07:14
memory sticks that have been lost
142
419000
2000
memorias que se perderan
07:16
with orphan photos.
143
421000
2000
con fotos orfas.
07:18
And Matty takes the pictures off these cameras
144
423000
2000
E Matty colle as fotografías desas cámaras
07:20
and posts them on his website every week.
145
425000
3000
e as colga na súa web cada semana.
07:23
And people come to visit
146
428000
2000
E a xente as visita
07:25
to see if they can identify a picture they've lost
147
430000
3000
para ver se poden identificar
una fotografía que perderan
una fotografía que perderan
