I used to be so upset whenever I have a Sickle Cell crisis. I used to think, “Why me? Why do I have to deal with this?” Whenever I’m in a crisis, I fight to stay alive. I speak positive affirmations, I drink plenty of fluids, I get in the right room temperature 🤒 I make sure to rest and I just keep doing things to win the battle. I realized that God gives his toughest battles to his toughest soldiers. Everything thing that I learned to do when fighting Sickle Cell, I learned to use those same tools to fight against other things in my life. Plus my Dad was an Army Veteran that fought in the Vietnam, so I was taught to fight my battles no matter how difficult it may look. I started using the hashtag #ifight4aliving because I’m literally fighting to stay alive daily. So whenever I’m speaking to others, I encourage them to fight their battles and don’t give up. I have plenty to live for so I will continue to fight and I encourage you to do the same. 💛🖤🤍💛🖤🤍💛🖤🤍 #passionroosevelt #sicklecellanemia #motivationalspeaker #dontgiveup #fight #yougotthis #armyveteran #armystrong #sicklecellwarrior #bestrongerthanyourexcuses #bestrong #wordsofencouragement #motivation #noexcuses #livelifetothefullest #sicklecell #healthandwellness https://www.instagram.com/p/CNa0jAsAMmm/?igshid=1ugfu6yj5tfer
