The Friday Confessional is probably well known by now as a very soul baring exercise in writing. Today, I’d like to talk to about something rather embarrassing for me. A major milestone in most people lives happens at the tender age of sixteen. There’s the sweet sixteen, usually accompanied by the awesome responsibility that comes […]
Though I confess the things that are most intimate to me, I don’t know if I am accurately painting the picture of the real me. To everyone here, I am Lulu Stark, the writer, the mother, the wife, and most importantly, the woman who bares herself in the name of mental health and […]
Last week, I wrote Seeds of Affection, confessing the almost sordid, but sweet details of Xan and my secret burgeoning relationship. We left off with Xan’s admission of when he recognize his love for me. Our moment was described in this: Chronos smiled, freezing time for us, and only us. The night stood still, permitting […]
In Possibility and Ascension, I wrote an abstract post of sorts detailing how Xan and I got together. It didn’t have to be so convoluted and vague as it was, twisting and turning with enough imagery to put anyone into overload. But, at the same time, it did.

That’s about it.” Not that two people aren’t attracted to each other, but that two people were not […]
This would be installment number two in The Friday Confessional Series. For those of you that are new to The Friday Confessional, thanks to LaLa, writer at Seasons Change and So Have I, I have taken on the idea of the Friday Confessional. There’s something so cleansing about it. I am not Catholic, nor have […]
Thanks to C, writer at Seasons Change and So Have I, I have taken on the idea of the Friday Confessional. There’s something so cleansing about it. I am not Catholic, nor have I ever been. But, I can see why confessional is an important part of their Christian denomination. October 25, 2000 It was […]
A post by Angel, concerning Avoidant Personality Disorder, had me thinking again about the possibility of me having Borderline Personality Disorder. This is a suspicion that has plagued me throughout the course of my treatment within the last year or so. Instead of going straight to the Borderline Screenings, I went to a personality disorder […]
