If there was an award
for the best
in hiding emotions,
masking feelings,
pretending to be okay,
and pushing people away,
I won’t just be a nominee
I’d be the winner
because it’s what I do best.

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!
