Nothing lasts.
Leaves wither.
Flowers die.
The sun sets.
Time passes.
Fires burn out.
Rivers dry up.
Pain ends.
People age.
Everyone dies.
Everything fades.
Everything’s got an end.

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!
