  • What Is an Introvert?
Colleen Lerner

Colleen Lerner

Whether I am reading, writing, or teaching, I am constantly surrounded by stories. As a highly sensitive, empathic introvert with social anxiety, I read stories to learn about myself and I write stories to hopefully help others do the same. When words don’t quite help, I look to yoga and spirituality to find my way. On instagram, follow some writing adventures @poetry_in_pencil and reading adventures @ajourneyin_books.
