—
talk to me today for hours
like you did in the beginning
speak sweet nonsense in my ears
like you did the very first time
spend more time with me
like you do with your cigarette
tell me you love me
because I want to hear you say it
hold me close
like you’re never going to leave me
make me believe
you’re not going to wreck it all

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!
