"With my great desire to confess, I could’ve been an excellent Catholic." :'D
I love this, and I understand it to a certain extent. Honestly, I thought this was going to explore how people don't really want the truth from others, or they only want it if it’s wrapped up nicely, like a piece of chocolate, to use your metaphor. But I like the different angle. You're probably a nice person.
For me, being compulsively honest has more to do with people not being ready for it. Yes, musicians, writers, and artists can get away with it, but they sure pay the price. As someone who struggles to craft a persona and is slightly rude, with a face that speaks a thousand words, I’m trying to figure out how to be politely dishonest, but I’m starting to wonder if it’s worth it.
Thank you so much for reading! And yes, honesty is an effective tool, which is why it should be handled carefully and with awareness...! I'm sure you'll find a good balance for yourself :)

I hope so, too. I'm getting better at it, but to paraphrase Shakespeare, "O truth apothecary! Thy drugs are quick" :')
