The thought of having to meet someone new or someone I'm not close to scares me. I normally wouldn't just go up to someone (who aren't my friends) and talk to them but when I do have to, so many things will go around in my head. I would plan out the conversation, the way I approach them, how I would say hi, what I would do with my hands, whether I would stand or sit, how casual or formal I should be. It scares me.

If you're up to date with me, you'd be able to see how this blog can be accessed through asmahamid.com!

It did take me quite awhile to decide and figure it out, however. It all came about when Sus  said that she wanted to get one so I decided to search it up. I texted my family saying that £10/year wouldn't be too bad but Dad helped me search around and he found cheaper options. I then realised that there are more services out there that's related to this new world I'm trying to explore. Below are a few things that I understood from the 'research' that I did before getting a domain name: a) Domain Name Basically just your basic www.xxx.xxx. It's just a name - that's it.
