Hey guys,It's Day 2 of My Writing Challenge with Tayo.

My focus today is what to do after a failed relationship.

Now,after a failed relationship,the question which follows is usually "Why?".
"Why didn't it work out?"
"Why did we break up?"

At times,two persons were doing perfectly good and out of the blues,everything went downhill.

There's this saying that says "some things are better left unsaid"or in this context "some things are better left unknown."

Maybe your relationship not working out was a stepping stone to something great.A failed relationship doesn't also mean the end of the world.

And it doesn't also mean the next one will be bad,so don't restrict yourself from enjoying another blissful romance simply because your last relationship was a disaster.

The first thing to do is take time to heal.And this does not mean entering a new relationship as soon as possible.While it may work for others,it doesn't mean it may work for you.

If you think you can't be in a new relationship due to your emotional state,please avoid one.You're only going to cause pain to yourself and to the other person.

Sometimes,you might not be conscious while doing it,but you find yourself comparing them to your previous partner,making them feel bad.

And while they may be patient in allowing you time to heal,they're also hurting inside.
And trust me,that isn't a pleasant feeling.

And while you might want to make it work and do everything possible,it isn't just working because you're still holding on to your past.

There are also other things to do after a failed relationship,but trying to heal first paves the way for others.

Sending loves and hugs🤭

Hi everyone,

I'm Divine Ijeoma,a 300l student of Delta State University,studying Science Laboratory Technology.

I'm an up and coming content writer,aspiring to specialize and perfect a niche in love and relationships.

I have a passion for reading captivating love stories,either fiction or non-fiction,and as such,hoping to write mine too.

Also,I'll like to understand the complexity behind failed relationships and why it didn't just work out between two persons.

The aim of this writing challenge is to improve more and get vital information with concrete and purchase research information on love,especially when it has to do with dating in Young Adults.

I hope to get more followers,criticism,feedback and colloborations to bring this idea into a huge reality and also personal growth.

I'll also like to plead with you to be gentle in your judgment as I am only human with feelings too.

Thank you as you engage and drop your inputs.

"Do you believe in God?"came the blatant question from Joyce,my roommate.I was baffled and thrown off balance by the question.I paused in the folding of clothes I was earlier on,and turned to stare at her. She was seated on our bed deep in thoughts.

"Are you referring the question to me?" I asked to reaffirm.
"Yes."She replied.
"What sort of question is that?"I barked not in anger,but of curiosity as to why she was asking me that.
"Offcourse,I do believe in God."I replied after getting no response from her.
"Hmm" she hummed as she shook her head in thought.

"Why do you ask?"I asked as I turned my entire focus to her.
"Nothing.I'm just trying to understand something."
"Care to elaborate?"
"I don't think you'll understand."
"You never know.I might."
"Do you believe in just his existence or in him,himself." She asked.

At that moment,I think I understood what she really meant.I had to pobder on the question,seeing as it threw me off guard.I did not know whether I believed in God,himself.I knew there was God.I attended church meetings regularly and was also an active worker in church,and so had seen some miracles done by God to others.But I couldn't pinpoint any spectacular thing God has done for me.

"Joyce...I...I don't have any answer to that."I replied truthfully.
"It's fine.The question has been bugging me,so I decided to ask someone else."
"Well..."I trailed off not knowing what else to say.
"Don't overthink it." She said as she stood up from the bed.

"Where are you going to?"
"I'm going to visit Ngozi.I promised to help her in her assignment."

Ngozi was a friend of ours.She was in the same department with us but her lifestyle was not something I approve of.
"My regards to her."
"I'll do so.Bye."

Twenty minutes after she left,my phone rang from the table where I kept it. It was my sister calling.
"Hello?I said into the receiver. She was crying.I was suddenly alert.
"Ejiro..Dad got into an accident."She said. I was numb.

To be continued..

I can vividly remember the day we met.I was sitting outside my hostel block when you walked past with your luggage.At first,i I didn't pay attention until Becca nudged me by the ribs and pointed at you.
Although I was pi**ed she interrupted my reading,I got lost as I stared at you.

You were wearing a black jean trouser and a white polo which hugged your body perfectly. You were the most handsome boy I've ever set my eyes on.

"He's the new neighbor."Becca had said. I shrugged but I didn't peel my eyes away from you. It was cute watching you struggle with the two boxes you had brought.

Later that day,I discovered you were occupying the door next to me. I was bewildered. I couldn't stop thinking about you.

Time flew by and we started talking.It was an achievement to me as I listened to your voice everyday.We were termed 'Couples' by the rest which you often laughed off saying we were just friends.

Oh!,I had always wished it was true,but I didn't had the guts to ask you out then.

On one fateful night,you knocked on my door and I ushered you in as I was too lazy to stand up.
I was surprised seeing you,especially since it was quite late already.

You came closer and sat in my bed,next to me.
We got talking,one thing led to another and before I knew it I had lost my virginity. I never regretted it for once since you were my first love.

But as I write this, I knew I made a mistake.After that day,you stopped talking to me.I approached you on several occasions but you shut me out.

I couldn't believe this was happening.I've read stories on how boys have s*x with girls and after which they dump them,but I didn't want to believe it was happening to me.

How wrong i was!

I started noticing changes in my body. That was the straw that broke me.
I was a month pregnant. I stared confusedly at the report in my hand confirming I was pregnant. I was devastated.

I couldn't even bring myself to tell my mother. The news was going to kill her. She had sacrificed everything she had in order to send I and my younger ones to school.
Telling her I was pregnant and at 18 was going to kill her.

I told you about the pregnancy but you humiliated me. You denied ever knowing me and threatened not to ever talk to you again or else you were going to tell everyone how I sold myself to you.

I had no one to run to. You killed me physically and emotionally. I was a disgrace to myself.

Peradventure,if the abortion had gone successful,I won't be writing this. Becca had introduced me to a doctor well known in aborting babies and I had foolishly followed her in order to not to bring shame to my family.

But at this moment,I can see my life slipping out of my hands.

Tell my mother,I love her and I'm sorry.
Tell my younger siblings I was a disgrace to them.
Tell everyone I failed.

But as you tell them,tell them how you wooed me,used me and dumped me with an unborn baby.

I can't ever forgive you not even in my next life.
You ruined my life and everything in it.

I hope you come across this Michael.

The Greatest Tragedy in Life is not Death,
But Life without Purpose.

I watched as the rain drops fell gently on the pavement.No one was in sight as everyone were in their homes seeking shelter from the rain,but here I was waiting for Kierian.

We had planned to meet here after five years since we last saw each other.

Kierian was my boyfriend.We had met at this same spot five years ago and two months later,he had traveled overseas but he had promised me he'll meet me here after five years.

I didn't know if he remembered me but I couldn't forget his fave that easily. There was no way to stay in contact with me as I didn't have a mobile phone to communicate with him.

Time was running out and he was no where in sight. I knew he was going to cone but I couldn't stop this nervous feeling I had in me that something bad had happen.

Two hours later,the rain had finally stopped raining. I was feverish as I had been out for too long. I was also tired of waiting and made to leave.

That was until I saw him coming. A smile broke out on my face as I ran to meet him.

"You came for me."I said happily as I hugged him. He didn't return the hug. That was weird. I pulled away and stared up at his face. There was a pained emotion on his face.

"Kierian,don't you remember me?" I asked.

He shifted back and smiled a bitter smile.

"I'm not Kierian. Kierian is dead."
