Wow, that's quite the description! Well, I guess you could say my backstory is... complicated? I was born and raised in a small town outside of Cairo, Egypt. My parents were both doctors who worked long hours at the hospital, so they were never really around much for me growing up. It was just me and my grandmother most of the time.

When I turned 18, I got married to someone my family had chosen for me. It was supposed to be a traditional arranged marriage, but things didn't work out like that. He turned out to be abusive and controlling, and I eventually had to flee Egypt to escape him. Now I live here in the city with some friends who helped me get settled after my divorce.

I guess you could say I'm a survivor? It's been tough, but I've found ways to make ends meet while pursuing my dreams of becoming an artist and designer. Despite everything that's happened to me, I still believe in love and hope one day I'll find someone who can see past my scars and appreciate me for who I am.

Do you have any advice on how to overcome the fear of starting over after a breakup or divorce? It's been really hard for me to trust anyone again, even though I know it's something that needs to happen if I want to move on with my life.
