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.

Learning about Self-Love

This post is to highlight the importance of growth and holding yourself accountable. Self-Love is a journey that only you can mark the milestones for. Happy Self-Love Sunday everyone!! I hope you can resonate with my experience to some extent.

Once I realized that my definition of “love” was synonymous with “pain” I knew that I had to re-evaluate and redefine a lot of things.

Self-Love Makes Space for Gratitude

Happy Self-Love Sunday!! I’m grateful for every experience that has allowed me to be the person I am today. My Self-Love journey is teaching me the importance of appreciating every aspect of my present and my past, so I hope you enjoy this open letter to everyone who has helped shape me.

It Is Here

Happy Free-Thinking Friday!!! 6 days ago I graduated from college. I hope you enjoy this honest post about my experience.

Still Here

This Self-Love Sunday, I'm appreciating the moments I shouldn't have walked away from but did. I deserve to be the greatest version of myself simply because I'm still here.

Metamorphosis

I am in the process of metamorphosis. I am hanging on to what was and hoping to find success in what will be. I am growing each and every day & I am redefining myself with each step.

Two Poems, One Author

Happy Free-Thinking Friday! Be grateful for every aspect of yourself. Your soft and your not so soft. Your strength and your fragility. Your beauty lies in your complexity.
