I Love You

If a writer gives you her favorite book, she is saying “I love you” in the most honest way she knows how.

If a poet shares her words with you, she is taking you to the warmest part of her soul.

Sometimes “I love you” plays hide-and-go-seek behind my tongue so I use the words of my favorite poets to tell you that I love you. When my own words fail me, I rely on the world of poetry to save me once again.

I’m still unlearning the idiosyncrasies of the unrealistic love I spent 22 years reading about.

I am a writer and applied mathematician. I am an introvert who loves writing and sharing my words with the world. Poetry saved my life on so many different occasions so I know that words are incredibly powerful. I just want to be a source of light in this very dark world. The Introvert’s Escape Maneuver is my way of navigating life. Free-Thinking Fridays are the creative's playground. I post poems, think pieces and prose. Self-Love Sundays are when I post motivational pieces about life and the practical applications of Self-Love. View all posts by brianasymone
