Show Up For Yourself

Show Up For Yourself

You keep waiting to feel ready,
as if confidence comes before action,
refusing to see that
you embrace it in the moment
and let the fire burn within you.

It feels like repetition,
and you are tired
of the over and over
because you underestimate
what consistency can do.

You forget
that deliberate practice
leads to growth,
and effort yields results
when you truly put your back into it.

You need to show up for yourself
every day,
in every way,
and give yourself the chance
to see your wings
soar high.

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 nine 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!
