I’m just a girl
who is trying to find her way
in this hard world
I’m just a writer
who is discovering herself
in this crowded world
I’m just a girl
who is learning everyday
in this competitive world
Its not as if the nerves aren’t there
I’ve just learnt to conceal them
Its not as if the little voice isn’t there
telling me to stop, quit and let go
I’ve just learnt not to listen to it
The race has been long and weary
but I’m going to make it to the finish line

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!
