I Never Thought This Day Would Come!’ — How I Finally Met a Good Woman This December After Years of Rejection, Heartbreak, and Being Told I Would Never Find Love
I had almost given up on love. Years of heartbreak, rejection, and empty promises had left me cautious, even bitter. Living in Nairobi, I spent my days working long hours at a tech firm, barely noticing the world outside the office windows. My friends kept asking when I would settle down, but I shrugged it off. “It’s not that easy,” I’d tell them. Deep down, I was afraid I might never meet someone genuine.
December had arrived, and with it, the holiday buzz in the city. The streets were adorned with lights, carolers sang in shopping malls, and couples strolled hand in hand. I walked alone past these scenes, the festive joy a stark reminder of my loneliness. I had been ghosted, turned down, and mocked for hoping for love — but this December, something was about to change.
It all started with a conference in Mombasa. I had traveled there for work, staying at a beachfront hotel that smelled of salt and tropical flowers. During a networking session, I met a woman named Amina. She wasn’t like anyone I had ever met — confident but kind, funny but thoughtful, with eyes that seemed to see right through the walls I had built around my heart. We talked about work, life, dreams, and disappointments, and for the first time in years, I felt a spark of hope.
