It’s the wee hours after midnight, when everyone else in the house is fast asleep. It’s the bewitching hour that feeds my soul, when my creativity peaks. The veil is at its thinnest, separating me from the muse. While I know I should be sleeping, and sleep is vital to my well being, it’s the last thing that I want, and there’s no way I can sleep on nights like this, anyhow.

I write mostly about my experience with bipolar disorder, and my hope is that it helps someone. You’re in good company, and you are not alone.
