We're Back!
It just hit me not long ago that Up All Night has been around for nearly eight years. A lot has happened in that time. My children have grown dramatically. My career has progressed nicely. We bought a house. There have been many highs and lows in that time, but I like to think that the highs outweigh the lows.
I am doing better mentally than I've done in quite some time. Since I was diagnosed with bipolar depression instead of just vanilla depression, my medication regimen has become far more effective. Of course things aren't perfect but I feel like I can get through each day easier than before (thanks Vraylar!).
I've missed the community that was built around Up All Night. I've missed sharing my thoughts and my work with that community. As I would periodically check in on the site, it just kept hitting me how cluttered that it had become. So this is my effort to strip things down and slowly rebuild it in a different format. Instead of just dumping things into a digital pile, I want to be a bit more organized and actually write about things that I want to share.
In the coming weeks and months, I plan to re-post things from the "archives" of Up All Night and categorize them with tags to make things a bit more organized. I also want to just write more and will continue to do that, as well.
I have slowed down on my music output, but I've had some ideas kicking around and I may get to them sometime soon. Most of the music I made was pretty dark and was created when I was in a pretty dark place, so I'd like to make something that doesn't sound like I'm about to jump off an overpass.
Things are good, though. I look forward to reconnecting with running this website and opening myself up to everyone again. I've missed this.
