In a moment of weakness
I know it
I feel it
and recognize it
I know I can be strong
but I’m stuck in between
fantasy and reality
I want to talk
but I can’t speak
I want to walk
but my legs don’t work
I want to be strong
but I’m numb
and silently waiting
for this moment of weakness
to pass

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!
