A Kenyan woman narrates how she met her soul mate on social media.
I used to be skeptical about finding love online. Social media was a place for memes, trending challenges, and endless scrolling—not romance. But life has a way of surprising you when you least expect it.
It all started with a late-night scroll through Instagram. As I admired a breathtaking photo of a mountain sunset, I stumbled upon a comment that caught my eye. It was witty, charming, and filled with a warmth that made me smile. Curious, I clicked on the profile of the commenter. His page was a mosaic of adventure—travel photos, candid shots of laughter, and little snippets of deep, thoughtful captions. Intrigued, I hit the follow button.
A day later, I got a notification: he had followed me back. My heart did a little flip. We started exchanging likes, then comments, and soon enough, we were DMing each other as if we were old friends. Our conversations flowed effortlessly, from favorite books to the quirkiest childhood memories. It was as if we were reading the same book but on different pages, finally turning them together.
After weeks of chatting, we decided to meet in person. The anticipation was nerve-wracking, yet exhilarating. We chose a cozy little café downtown, the kind with fairy lights and an ambiance that felt like a warm hug. As I walked in, I spotted him immediately. He looked just like his photos, but there was something about his presence that was even more captivating.
The moment our eyes met, it felt like the world had been reduced to just the two of us. We talked for hours, losing track of time as if we were characters in our own romantic novel. It was then I realized that sometimes, love finds you when you least expect it, even through the screens we often take for granted.
Now, whenever someone asks how we met, I tell them with a smile, “It was love at first click.” Our journey was a testament to the magic of modern romance—proof that even in a digital age, genuine connections can still blossom into something beautiful.
