One blog post at a time.

You’re the reason you’re sad. You’re the reason you’re happy. You’re in control of your feelings.

I stay wanting more needing more

I’m talking different I’m moving different I’m working different

You will always be aloof to someone who is clingy. You will always be fussy to someone who is nonchalant. You will always be bossy…

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!
