Heartbroken chat Buddies

Saa zingine I just sit and wonder what exactly I was thinking staying with a guy like Kelvin. Honestly, love can make you blind in ways you don’t even realize.

When we first met, Kelvin used to treat me like a queen. Calls every morning, long chats till late, even showing up with chips and kuku when I said I’m tired. I felt like, ‘finally, a genuine guy.’

But pole pole, the true colors started showing.
Attitude every small thing.
If I didn’t pick his call immediately, I was ‘playing games’.
If I asked him where he was, suddenly I was ‘nagging’.
But him disappearing for hours was somehow normal.

He hated when I went out with my girls. Hata dressing nicely became an issue. “Unaenda wapi na hizo nguo?” Every small thing turned into an argument. And I found myself apologizing for things I didn’t even do.

My friends, kept telling me, “Babe this guy is draining you.” But I kept defending him, saying he’d change. And of course, every time I tried to leave, Kelvin would come back with sweet words, long paragraphs, fake promises, mpaka you start thinking maybe you overreacted.

The day it hit me was when I realized I had cried three nights in a row over the same nonsense. I looked at myself in the mirror and I didn’t even recognize who I’d become. I was stressed, drained, and honestly just tired.

So I finally left. Just packed my pride and walked away.

It still hurts because feelings don’t just disappear. But at least now I can breathe. I’m finding myself again, slowly, without all that drama and manipulation.”
