Hello,

I am 21 years old.

Based in Cairo, Egypt.

CS student at Cairo University.

I started creative writing back when I was heavily involved with a narcissistic abusive goblin-looking man, it was my emotional outlet since it wasn’t emotionally safe for me to express my feelings to him.

That’s the only good thing I came out with from that weird bond.

It both tainted and taunted me.

You will see it in my words.

I also paint sometimes and take pictures of random stuff IG: BananahFilms.

Yours,

Hana Banana

What are my writings mainly about?

  • My disastrous fall from the highs of academic accomplishment and constant strangers’ praise to being average. Average and burnt out.

  • The infatuation I received from men. The lust that morphed my heart into a hollow void, with nothing being able to fill it. “love” that took my power away.

  • My pleas for getting seen. My knees’ bruises from begging. Begging for truly being held, securely hugged. My prayers for requited love.

  • The love I mistook for something less. The kiss I mistook for a bite. My French lover, to whom I was an enemy. All out of fear. All for love.
