The Introvert's Escape Maneuver

by Briana Symone

Author: brianasymone

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.

Beneath the Waxing Moon

A poem about the night I shared my short story at the Birmingham Arts Journal gathering this week. I'm grateful to be chosen as a contributor and I'm excited to continue to share my words on various platforms.

Your Time is Now

“It doesn't matter how many people are watching...your best is the only acceptable form of expression.”

Fighting to Hold On To Childhood Wonder

As I’ve grown up, I’ve noticed myself losing hold of that childhood wonder and joy. I fear I’m forgetting to smell the roses and find value in the simple things in life.

Words that Make Me Feel

I love reading books so this week I wanted to share some of my favorites lines from Donte Collins’ “Autopsy”

It’s Winter but I Feel So Warm

If it's truly winter time in South Africa then why do I feel so warm?

She Saw The Beauty in Me

Tonight I received a traditional African name and it reminded me that people often see the parts of you that you keep hidden from yourself.

Heavy

Sometimes the most simple words can help explain the most complex feelings. These past few weeks I've felt "Heavy". I hope you enjoy.

Self-Love Ain’t Easy

Self-Love ain't easy...don't confuse a little TLC with actively participating in Self-Love.
