even though I know we’re really different
I almost believe you and I are really alike
even though I know you don’t know what love is
I almost believe you when you say you love me
even when I know you’re lying
I almost believe you’re telling the truth
even when I know you won’t change
I almost believe you will
even though I know this can’t work
I almost believe it will

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 eight 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!
