A knot in my stomach<\/p>\n
a lump in my throat<\/p>\n
it\u2019s hard to swallow, sometimes.<\/p>\n
those moments that cause so<\/p>\n
much anxiety. When you have<\/p>\n
the talk you\u2019ve been putting off.<\/p>\n
the day you anticipate the news<\/p>\n
you\u2019ve been waiting for.
\nthe moment before the surgery. Or<\/p>\n
When you find out you\u2019re moving<\/p>\n
across the pond to fulfill a dream.<\/p>\n
then it gets twisted, like spaghetti being<\/p>\n
coiled around the fork.
\nwhat you want isn\u2019t always what it<\/p>\n
seems to be. Be careful that you don\u2019t<\/p>\n
get twisted in the chaos that<\/p>\n
lurks, the twisted monster that<\/p>\n
wants to see you fail. The twisted creature<\/p>\n
that tries to break you. Twisted and coiled like a snake in the grass.
\nalways remember that the grass gets cut down, too.
\nthat abomination tried to get me twisted.<\/p>\n
but I took the mower and the blades,<\/p>\n
well, you know what they do!
\nnever let anyone try and twist you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
