I am so happy you are here!

I’m Mariam, a girl who sees life in frames, feels everything deeply, and is finally learning to listen to her own voice.
I live in Los Angeles and every day I try to capture the small moments that make life feel soft, warm, and meaningful.

On this blog, I share my thoughts, my self-growth journey, my love for photography and filmmaking, and the little cinematic moments that often go unnoticed. This space is where creative life, quiet reflections, and visual stories come together.

If you’re someone who enjoys slow mornings, deep conversations, creative routines, and honest feelings, you’ll feel at home here.

Grab a coffee, take a breath, and let’s explore life gently, together.
