The Difference Now speaks of the struggle for self-acceptance and the ability to let go of the past. Ultimately, it is about learning to make one’s own definitions instead of fitting into someone else’s idea of what’s acceptable.

The Difference Now is about gaining the perspective that will allow you to look back over your life with contentment instead of regret. It’s about overcoming all the thoughts and emotions you never thought you would, embracing independence, and realizing finally you are more than just the product of a turbulent childhood or a certain amount of success and failure.

Despite its personal nature, The Difference Now is the embodiment of universal struggles, emotions, and fears. The poetry is honest and spiritual, and the words stay with you as you continue on your own life’s journey.
