My name is Lydia from Kisumu, and to be honest, I had almost given up on love completely. I was tired. Every relationship I entered ended the same way with heartbreak and tears. It’s like I was cursed to fall for the wrong men.
At first, I thought maybe I was just unlucky. But as years went by, the pattern became too painful to ignore. I’d give my all to a man, he’d make promises, talk about the future, then suddenly disappear like he never existed. Some would cheat, others would ghost me, and a few just grew cold overnight. I cried until I had no tears left.
I remember one night, scrolling through my phone, deleting old messages from an ex who had left me for another woman. That night, I said to myself, “Maybe love just isn’t for me.” I started focusing on work and told myself I didn’t need anyone but deep down, I was lonely. I missed the feeling of being genuinely loved and cared for.
One weekend, I went to visit my cousin in Nairobi. During our conversation, she couldn’t stop smiling when she talked about her fiancé. Yet, just a few months earlier, she was crying over a man who had walked out on her. I finally asked, “What changed? How did you move on so fast?” https://drbokko.com/?p=34108
