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.

This week taught me that when Self-Love is difficult we strap on our boots, roll up our sleeves and get to work.

We don't move against the new rhythm of the season, we wait until we have internalized it's consistency and understand its depths then we move with it.

Personification

Personification: A short piece about the entities who use their power for good but more often evil.

Gratitude

I'm naturally a "realist", who often borders pessimist. I assume the worst will happen then allow myself to be surprised by the best. This Self-Love Sunday I am focusing on gratitude (again) because I often find myself believing that no ones owes me anything. So, I’m learning to be grateful when I get more than I bargained for
