I miss me
the real me
The me
that shares easily,
passionately
and fervently
That says what
she’s thinking
feeling and wishing
That lets things go,
moves on quickly
and knows things get better eventually
That doesn’t feel
bruised,
broken and alone
That’s never needy
never helpless
and never settles
I miss me
the real me
I need me
the real me
I want me
the real me
and not this version of me I’m stuck with

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!
