One of the most constant thing in life is **FEAR**, fear is one of the basic features we human possess, though some people tend to claim that they are bold and courageous but deep down their heart they know that particular thing which make them **scared** every time...

Fear is not meant for a particular person, it is meant for everybody, fear can come in different ways, it can come as a result of something going wrong for the very first time we tried it or it can be a natural thing that cause you fear...

FEAR doesn't make one a weakling, it is something we don't have control over, it is natural in most cases, you might be able to get rid of some fears in your life but there is a constant fact that you still have the fear of something...

For example, **for those who are scared of heights, if they are thought how to manage and overcome their fears, does that mean they can dine with a LION in the zoo**???

No, it is because they know the kind of creature a lion is and fear in that manner is **NATURAL**, we all fear wild animals especially LION...

A very quick and funny question today is what i am about to talk about..

       HAVE I EVER BEING SCARED BEFORE???

**YES**, I have been scared on various occasions, even when i try to act strong by hiding it in the face of the public, deep down in my heart i know i am scared out of my wits which is normal as a guy, i wanted to form a strong boy...

The type of fear i had was the fear of loosing my life after i sustained a very deep injury to my wrist..
                         
       HOW DID IT HAPPEN???

About some years ago, i came back from school on a friday afternoon as you all know friday is the beginning of weekend and so therefore as a teenager, i changed into my play clothes and decided to go play football in the compound opposite my house...

I remember vividly that after i finished changing, the weather had also changed and it started raining soon after and as you all know football played in the rain is one of the best...

As i was going out, my mum called me and told me to stay back that it is raining and i shouldn't go and play ball in the rain, i refused to listen to her and went and that was how we started this match in my friends compound...

We were all playing and enjoying it, my team was defeating everyone, we were all drenched and at the same time we were all happy, we were three each in a team with 5 teams, shortly after we defeated the last team was when i had this injury...

I was given the ball and then my opponent was trying posses the ball, the compound was all circulated with compound bulbs in a glass covering for light generation at night...

I will call them that, while trying to maintain my position and also to keep the ball in my possession, i moved towards the wall where one of the bulb's glass had broken and was now pointed out, i had forgotten completely and didn't see it and before i knew it while trying to dribble him, i was pushed forward by my opponent and before i knew it, it was me hitting my wrist against the pointed broken glass..

At first we all thought it was small injury not until i went to the tap to wash the surface and after a minutes, blood started gushing out, i opened the tap to wash it off, i stopped for a while and i saw the white tissue inside and then the blood started gushing out so much that i became so scared and ran home to my mother at home...

Shouting and crying, i called my mother who was fast asleep, she saw blood and was crying and shouting at me that she told me not to go, in minutes the blood was stopped by my mum and she covered it with a cotton wool and gave me some pain killers but i was not ascertained of my injury because i had that cut close to my VEINS...

I was so scared that my vein had cut because i saw in movie as a guy who was stabbed on wrist was shouting "two veins has cut now" before he died, seeing how close the injury was, i tried to count the veins in my wrist, it was complete but my sub consciousness was playing mind games with me...

I was still scared until i went to a certified doctor and asked if my veins were in tact, she ascertained me that i am okay, my veins were fine and i eventually calmed down but for months i couldn't use that hand, the veins in that hand were not responding actively...

In summary, i lost all courage back then and was weeping bitterly and I asked my mum if anything had happened to my veins because i didn't want to die with a cut **veins**,  the thought of dieing scared the hell out of me, my mum then told me not to worry that my veins were intact, she just kept on telling if anything had happen to my pains, i won't be here talking and my body would have told me since...

In conclusion, i regretted not listening to my mum but i still went back to that compound to see what injured me, only to see a shred of my skin on the pointed glass and i removed it completely from making another person fall victim, it was a tragic experience for me, i remember i ran out of the compound in my **underpants**, my mum was the first thing on my mind and truly mothers are the best...

Thinking about that time just made laugh so hard and even till now the cut hasn't fully healed, i guess it was a price i paid for my stubbornness..

it was a lesson full experience but after i recovered from it that didn't stop me from playing in the rain lolz,  **OLD HABIT DIE HARD**😂😂😂😂😂

       THANKS FOR READING AND HAPPY NEW WEEK...
