Yesterday we woke up to the news that a Chuka University student committed suicide over a love affair. Well, this was surprising considering that the student was male, learned as he was taking one of the ‘hardest’ courses, Computer Science.

Firstly, taking a life is not tolerated by any law nor religion and secondly doing it because your relationship did not work out is not worth it. 

Therefore, the following are the reasons you should never think of dying when your partner decides to go:

Another person will come: No matter how much you loved him/her, you will never say no to a new handsome/ beautiful crush, will you? Therefore, automatically another person will take up their place. And you will be happy again.

There is more fun ahead: When people decide to walk out of your life there is something that is missing between the two of you. Let her/him go, this will give you an opportunity to do other things you were never doing while he/she was around. You will make more new friends and learn new things

You will heal: No matter how painful the scenario will look, you will definitely heal over time and one day you will wake up feeling like you never knew him/her and you will just be happy.

You will be wiser: Yes, after the person you thought you loved the most and gave everything leaves you, it will hurt and therefore next time you will be more experienced and careful while selecting a life partner.
