My name is Ummesalmah, which is Arabic for Mother of Peace. Hence the name for my blog. People around me generally call me “Salma” (peace) or “Umme” (which means mother… unfortunately my friends do think I’m the mom (and nerd) of our friend group). Anything works for me, I mean standardized tests know me as “Ummesalm” because my name doesn’t fit in the boxes. (insert Debby Downer’s horrendous noise).
You’ve heard old people feel young at heart, but what about young people feeling old at heart. I’m eighteen but I generally feel 40 at heart. I generally think a lot, sometimes over think and I make un deep things deep (like when rain drops glide across the windows of a car). I also like talking (phone calls over texts any day) and dreaming, so I’m going to use this as an outlet for my free expression and to explore my ambitions, all the while motivating others to do more, be more, and seek more.
Until next time,
Wait..how old are you again? Your name = Your blog title then you added the acronym to the tagline? Wow, that’s deep! You have a bright future.

Haha, I totally sang your title! 😉
I’m amazed that you’re sixteen actually, even the way that you write is very sophisticated, and that is a compliment by the way.
I’m really relating to a lot of what you’re sharing here, maybe we’re the same star sign!

Absolutely! There has to be something in the stars 🙂
I just knew it! Everything that I was reading… from you being old before your time, well I was that person in my group of friends (the diplomat, the peacemaker), to marathoning your shows (and admittedly being a bit nerdy about it) and just some of your personality traits that come across here, very similar indeed.
Pleased to have met you, and that’s not meant in an egotistical way because I’m saying we’re alike!

Right? I was like dude, i’ve found myself a blogging homie (i don’t know why I’ve used that word so many times lately, but I’l just roll with it). Great minds think alike..I mean egotistical was like my word of the day 3 days ago (one of my quirks).
But I can’t wait to see how our blogs unroll. We should definitely do a collab of some sort!

Haha brilliant, blogging homies, I can settle on that.
