Kevin Mboya, the man who gained viral attention in January after being dumped by his girlfriend despite traveling from Nairobi to Kwale with flowers to see her, is drawing parallels between his own life and that of Freshly Mwamburi, the popular artist behind the hit song “Stella Wangu.”
Taking to his Twitter account, Mboya expressed how he could relate to Freshly’s experience of committing himself to a woman, only to face the pain of being callously rejected and enduring heartbreak.
He also shared lessons that he had learnt from the break up. It changed his life he said, although it was very challenging at first.
He wrote;
On May 17, 1989, Freshly Mwamburi embarked on a journey of love, eagerly waiting at JKIA (Jomo Kenyatta International Airport) to welcome his first-ever girlfriend, Stella. Sadly, his hopes were shattered that day, leaving him heartbroken. But he didn’t give up.
Similarly, when my own relationship ended in Kwale, I felt a deep void in my life. Little did I know that when one light goes out, a brighter one takes its place. However, finding that light isn’t always immediate—it requires effort.
After my heartbreak, my body instinctively did everything it could to eliminate the pain. Some of the reactions were counterproductive, like trying to contact my ex which made me feel worse every time. On the other hand, the productive things I did created many positive changes in my life.
Transfer the commitment you gave to your love to your own improvement and repossess all the sacrifices you made. Essentially, put yourself first again and regain your identity for the better.
