New Flame

New Flame

His eyes were intriguing
and I knew he’d be interesting

His passion was exhilarating
and I wondered if it’d be consuming

His desire to share was heartwarming
and I found it fascinating

His energy was overwhelming
and I worried I’d be unappealing

His presence in my life was refreshing
and I embraced it wholeheartedly

About Me

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!
