I had some feedback recently to say that my post Anonymous Confessions was a bit confusing.

The person giving me feedback read it and thought that the confessions were referring to the same person … when in fact it was about 6 different people.

So for that reason I’m going to try this again. Please consider this a short series of blog posts as I further explain my initial blog post!

We aren’t friends that talk or message all the time but I feel a deep kinship with you. You’re my people. And your encouragement and belief in me more than my own makes me feel bigger, braver. And I’m so grateful to you for that.

Starting with this confession. Do you ever just have that amazing, beautiful, incredibly wise friend who tells you just the right things at just the right times? Where she absolutely knows what needs to be said and says it in the most perfect, concise way without any bullshit. Knowing that we’re friends enough that I’ll take whatever life advice she gives me?

I hope you have a friend like this.

I wrote this confession for a friend of mine where, as mentioned, we might not see each other that often, we might not message each other regularly, but good lord is my life a better place for having her in it.

There’s no sexual undertones here which is a change from my ‘typical’ friendship. Instead we have one of those friendships where I hope that we challenge each other. Make each other think and feel in a different way. But at the same time share some laughs and bond over our similarities even if it’s our differences which makes our friendship work so much.

Again, it can’t be said enough, I’m enormously, ridiculously happy to have this type of friendship in my life.

I feel like sex, dating, relationships, life just generally can be so confusing. And there isn’t anything more valuable than a good friend to bounce things off, to share. To commiserate. To laugh with.
