I write about love, life, books, adulting, travel and the things we don’t always say out loud.

I hope you carry a pocket full of treasures, pecan pie, vanilla ice cream, strawberry muffin,

Make peace with all versions of you that have existed.

Two truths can exist. I can be tired of waiting and also assured that my own is coming.

The Peppersoup Shop is a peppersoup-focused restaurant and lounge in Lekki Phase 1.

I’m Mariam — writer, explorer, observer of life’s quiet and loud moments. I started this blog in March 2017 as a self-discovery space, and over the past nine years, it has grown into a home for everything that moves me and hopefully, something that moves you too. Here, you will find poetry, reflections, travel stories, lifestyle pieces, motivation, inspiration and Lagos restaurant reviews all written with honesty and heart. Enjoy!
