Meghan Daum

Confessing means asking the reader for something - for forgiveness, for punishment, for some kind of response that makes you feel less alone. Honesty means offering something to the reader - a piece of yourself or a set of suggestions. Honesty means making the reader feel less alone. Honesty is inherently generous. Confession is inherently needy and intrusive.
