One blog post at a time.

I love the way I smile at the mirror when I’m thinking of you

Have you ever received an “I miss you text” and didn’t miss the person as much, but felt compelled to say I miss you too?

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 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!
