Following the 2017 release of my first book, Where To Start, I present my second book, This Journey Isn't Over Yet. This is a collection of my poetry from over the past few years, taking a deeper dive on experiences of life and looking at different perspectives to try to understand it all. In this life, everything comes around full circle, the past overlaps the present and the future is impacted upon the present. One of the most important ideas is that one shouldn't get stuck in the past because it cannot be changed, instead focus on learning from the experiences and applying the wisdom to your present and future opportunities. Life is about progression and once that's understood, then you will be able to live more for the future; don't let your past create barriers stopping you from doing what you need to do for yourself. We all need to see that the present is a gift, me included, I'm still learning not to dwell on the past and to love the present which develops my future.
