I stare at the empty space,
so white, without a dot.
It mirrors my mind,
which has been silent for months.
I’m at an impasse,
unsure of what comes next.
I try to focus, to write,
but the words collapse into gibberish.
On paper, they feel hollow,
not yet shaped into meaning,
not yet ready to speak for me,
not yet worthy of the world.

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!
