What's Your Word Blog



It’s 2:00PM, and my brother and I are removing our wisdom teeth. My heart was beating so fast, I feel like I can hear it in my ears. I don’t know what it’s going to be like when the dentist puts me under anesthesia, I hope nothing embarrassing happens. I’ve seen other people’s reaction to anesthesia while removing their wisdom teeth. Needless to say, I hope I don’t end up on the internet. I wonder if my brother is as apprehensive as I am, but the nurse wouldn’t allow me to see him before my procedure. My anxiety is now more intense, which goes with the pain of my mouth.
The procedure is finally over, and I stumble into my house with the help of my mother. She puts me to bed to rest. I hear a sound coming from the air, but it does not sound like her voice. I think it’s music. Perhaps she thought it would help put me to sleep. As I lay on my bed, I’m encompassed by comforting familiarity. The song, even through my clouded state, I can recognize. It’s “Suck it and See” by Arctic Monkeys, a band I’ve been experiencing. I don’t hear the words, but the music I can hear. Suddenly, I’m filled with overwhelming elation. This might be due to the anesthesia from the dentist, or maybe I’ve missed the beauty hidden from this treasure. But I can hear and feel the love that is permeated within the song. Even with no words, I can feel it. I couldn’t help but cry. It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve heard. Now I see why this band will forever be my favorite. My God this song! Without a doubt my favorite. For life. Forever in this clouded world.
