Fear of the unknown I use to be afraid of the unknown. I use to worry about all I've heard about sickle cell anaemia. I use to think I don't have a life. I use to think my life was a "bling-bling" Now I know better... everyone also has a fear of the unknown. Some people are younger than I and had no sickle cell or health commas, yet..they slept forever. Some others,are my age mates,with no sickle yet, they took the free ticket flight to the yonder. No o, not anymore, I have a life just like anyone..I've given up a thousand times because I feared the unknown. Not anymore, I hereby evict, self pity, nonsense discovery of fear, man made story and names to scare me from life. All my thoughts are now rebranded! My hope is ALIVE! I'm special, with a special mission on earth. I'm a warrior and I'm stronger than pain! ...written by Ese

I have tried as much as possible to stop writing about sickle cell disorder. Alas! Sickle cell has not stopped writing about me. I have constantly fought as a warrior every September for about 4 consecutive years, especially days close to my birthday, and this had been the reason for my moodiness and unwillingness to celebrate my birthday. Over the years, I have had causes to be hospitalised, battling different forms of crisis. But all glory to God who yearly grants me victory. Oh! I started this month (September, 2018) with a strong mind... Unwilling to go through the cycle. I devised several means to dodge the coming 4th Sickle September War... However, the war started and as a warrior, I had to fight for my life. This war however lasted than usual. The battlefield was set as at late August. It began with a fever, and personally, I decided to run some tests so as to fight back and conquer before it eventually led to *my sickle September*. .. How do you interpret walkin...
