The real flex is saying no when you want to, and choosing yourself first.
The real flex is working through your failures and turning them into success.
The real flex is healing and not traumatizing others with your unhealed wounds.
The real flex is not taking things personally and remembering you aren’t responsible for other people’s actions.
The real flex is being yourself at all times and not other versions you put up to please others.
The real flex is knowing your worth and pulling yourself away from situations that don’t value you.
The real flex is staying grateful.

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!
