Dear Appendix, you complete me.

I lay on the operation table in the theatre. The green overall I was wearing did very little in covering my nakedness. I wasn’t bothered about my nakedness really, I just wasn’t sure if I was going to return from the journey to oblivion I was about to embark on.

My Mum, who was supposed to be standing beside me, had chickened out. She couldn’t stand the thought of a small scalpel gently slicing open the thin layers of my skin, with dark red blood gushing out of me, not to talk of the sight of it. And my dad, who never really had the heart for things that had to do with the hospital, didn’t bother to come to the hospital that morning at all. I was in this alone. “God, please don’t let me die”, I mumbled to myself as I lay there. A small tear drop managed to find its way out of the corner of my eye.

The small, well-lit theater didn’t have much inside. But I did notice the long table that had several instruments on it; they looked like those instruments you see in movies where someone is about to be tortured. The small steel bowls had some funny colored liquids; the colors weren’t quite as funny as the smells that came from them.

SELF LOVE

Self love is a topic most people consciously shove under the carpet for reasons best known to them. Everyone talks about love for friends, families, tourist attractions, assets and all that good stuff but you rarely hear people talk about loving themselves. So many people are trapped In self pity, guilt and often believe they are not worth loving or are not enough as humans.

MUSIC

The sound of the rhythm in your head
Which takes you on a ride to self-discovery,
Enlightenment and entertainment.
It all depends on which side you choose to take.
The ride might be successful or endless.
It also depends on the approach you choose to take

Some describe it as a noise that creates disturbance
And endless chatter that weakens the human mind.
Some describe it as a medicine to the soul and
To your inner self as humans
To others, it creates laughter and oneness of the human person
While to others, it is a journey of soul searching and endurance
