What is a "confession"?
A confession is a personal account where an individual reveals private or significant details about their life, actions, or experiences. This genre often involves the author admitting to past mistakes, misdeeds, or personal struggles, and it provides an intimate look into their thoughts and motivations. Confessions can cover a wide range of topics, including personal guilt, transformative experiences, or revelations about one's behavior. The goal is to offer an honest and sometimes raw perspective on the author’s life or actions.
