The Honest Letters Project

The Honest Letters Project began as a set of letters addressed to my elementary school teachers confessing things I did when I was their student—things such as cheating on my vocabulary test or having my brother finish my history project. It was a playful idea that came out of the blue, and I caught hold of it.

These letters slowly became a larger project as I broadened my letter audience. I then decided to open submissions up to the public to see if anyone was willing to share their secrets as well. It turns out a handful of people were.

This growing collection of letters is an opportunity for readers to see that they are not alone in their experiences as humans. Maybe the reader has lied to get something they wanted or cried on the way home; however, others have done these things too. Honest Letters is a chance to see ourselves in others and in hopes of dispelling a sense of separateness and cultivating a sense of togetherness.
