I’ve just started blogging after the Egyptian revolution, or in other words now that I actually have the freedom to write with out worrying about the internet police and being abducted on my way home from school. However this is something I am not proud of since I am sure blogging before the revolution must have been a different definitely more thrilling experience. And I must point out my great and deep respect to all those courageous bloggers out there who were determined to speak out their and and share them no matter what. I cant really say that I am a political activist, especially after the Jan 25th revolution my participation in one protest the summer before is not considered activism. Also I have never been interested in politics, however I was always interested in the well-being of my country, which somehow forced me to be a bit more involved in the political events and situation taking place in Egypt. So I will be writing a lot about my thoughts and reflections on Egypt before and after the revolution. Also about my hopes and dreams of how we can rebuilt our Egypt, and how I wish for it to be 10 years from now :) I am also a Psychology major so I will also be reflecting a lot about what I learn and what i read relating to the areas of Psychology that interest me the most. So excited about blogging, and hope you enjoy my blogs :)Tumblr (3.0; @salmaem)http://salmaem.tumblr.com/“LEARN TO GIVE EXPRESSION to what you feel without blaming. Learn to listen to your partner in an open, non defensive way.<br/> Give your partner space for expressing himself or herself. Be present. accusing, defending, attacking- all those patterns that are designed to strengthen or protect he ego or to get its needs met will then become redundant. Giving space to others- and to yourself-is vital. Love cannot flourish without it.”<br/><br/> - <em>Practicing the power of Now- Eckhart Tolle </em>http://salmaem.tumblr.com/post/5097184348http://salmaem.tumblr.com/post/5097184348Sun, 01 May 2011 13:45:15 +0300<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lkifjhvyXU1qjc42yo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Proud to be an Egyptian, thanks to the courageous who sacrificed everything for my rights my security and my freedom !!</p>http://salmaem.tumblr.com/post/5096269335http://salmaem.tumblr.com/post/5096269335Sun, 01 May 2011 12:26:05 +0300“The power of the people is stronger than the people in power”<br/><br/> - <em>Wael Ghoneim</em>http://salmaem.tumblr.com/post/5096226570http://salmaem.tumblr.com/post/5096226570Sun, 01 May 2011 12:22:23 +0300
