I did it
I really did it
I thought I couldn’t do it
heck, I almost didn’t survive it
The days dragged
and the nights were worse
I cried in silence,
smiled in public,
and kept it pushing
even when my spirit was breaking
There were days I couldn’t move
but somehow, I kept breathing
I held onto my reason
with fragments of hope
and I did it
I really did it

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!
