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.
