The main difference? "The Peaks and The Valleys" explores more of my emotions, the light and dark aspects. I get even more personal. Healing isn’t linear and that’s the point I wanted to get across in this book! You’ll have high highs and low lows."Tortured Souls Turn to Gold" was about my depression and how I had to pull myself out of it, while this book goes more into the actual process of healing. This book goes more into my self-discovery journey and how the journey never ends. As people, we forget that the point of life is to live it, and this book is me coming to terms with that."About Tortured Souls Turn to Gold"This is more than just a poetry book, this is a deeply personal diary that explores my mental health journey This collection of songs and poetry reflects the evolution of self-discovery and self-understanding, traversing the darkest lows, struggling to find a sense of safety, and ultimately reconciling with my past, embracing the present, and facing the uncertainty of my future with clarity. This book also explores how healing isn't linear in the slightest, and how finding yourself isn't always easy. "Tortured Souls Turn To Gold" is a love letter to who I was, who I am, and who I am excited to become."This venue is wheelchair accessible and masks are required and provided.
