Just a knot…

For most people when they notice a knot, they just brush it off. They may watch it for a week or even months before they decide to mention it. They’ll think of what it could be but not really let it get them wound up much. They are sure it will fine. It’s just a knot.

For others when they notice a knot, they will relive many painful moments. Their stomach will twist itself up. They will call their physician immediately and rightfully so. It will steal their sleep, their peace. They will come up with all the could be scenarios refusing to think they would have to relive a moment of their life over again. As time goes on and hours seem like weeks and days seem like months, they slowly let the could be scenarios drift in. Most don’t think about themselves and the past moments they’ve endured. They think about all those around them. What this would mean for them. It’s a lifelong fear of every time something feels off, something feels different, they have a pain. They will relive it all over again. They will think of all it affected and wonder how they’ll say it again. It is not like when you have a cold, you take meds and it’s gone. It lives with you. It haunts you. Because for them it’s not just a knot.
