  1. Knot. Not. Knot is not not. Tangled together. Torn apart? I’ve always been one of those people who pull every knot apart. My parents say I’ve always had picky finger. I wonder how that applies to life?

  3. her stomach was tied up in knots. it had been years since she last saw him. she didn’t know what to expect. all she knew was that she had a million questions and would never get to ask a single one, especially that one question that mattered…

    “hello,it’s been a while… have you tied the knot yet?” was all she heard as she turned to meet his gaze.

  4. knot. i just did this word. i will do it again. i love freewriting. my english teacher always says to “barf” up onto your page and write what comes into your head. well, i dont know what to write, my head is blank, the only things that are interesting in my surroundings is the sound of my friend IMing me and the green bar at the top of the screen under the word knot. knot.

  5. I am a climber. I trust knots with my life every day. I can tie a figure eight in my sleep, a European death knot in the dark, and a square knot behind my back.

  6. The knot in my heart is like a block that stops air from reaching me. No matter how I try to untie it, it always seems to get more tied together. I think at one point it almost vanished, but it was too good to be true. Now, it is tighter than ever.

  9. My stomach is in a knot, twisted in such a way that no matter what, it always aches. Anxiety only makes it worse, sometimes I don’t think there is a way to untie it, to anihilate it

  10. I hate knots. I don’t even have any real reason for disliking them. They’re just difficult, to be difficult. Yeah, they secure things, but you’re always untying them and they’re obnoxious and I don’t like them and people are bothersome when it’s like they’re in knots as well. You can’t figure them out. What’s with that, anyway.

  11. Knots. Tangles of yarn. Two shoelaces tied together by a kindergarter with little hope of ever coming apart without the aid of a sharp knife. Knots of wood on a tree. Knots of ribbon in the craft box waiting for preschool hands to turn them into a project.

  14. tied up, too hard to cut through it and only getting harder to remember all those ones that you practiced on the bedpost as a kid. What were they, fisherman’s things, the sort that woild keep a boat moored overnight but now you don’t even know them

  15. Knots are an odd object, based on friction. They are used to secure objects via strands. Most common is the square knot; all knots can be broken down intocategories. You have friction knots that are meant only for securing. You have knots designed for sliding and shortening.

  16. Knots are an odd object, based on friction used to shorten and secure strands of material to objects. There are many variations on the knot. Most common is the square not, but equally popular is the bowline, used in rescue.

  17. Many people get a knot in their stomach when they get nervous. I’m a public speaking instructor at a community college and it comes with every first speech… and second, and third. You never really get that knot out of your stomach, you just learn to deal with it.

  18. There is a knot in my stomach when I walk into the school and I know you’re not there. I thought it was going to be horrible for another reason, but you’re it. You’re the reason. It’s like it used to be, but we’ve slept together. And you’re not there. You’re at fucking Harvard. FUCKING HARVARD. Fuck Harvard. I wish you were here.

  19. Knots were the things that broke us, the things at tore at my heart. How could you love such a thing as this knot in my heart. Knots could not have been knotty. So, it must’ve been you.

  21. I told you the knots were too tight, that the strangled my heart until it bled nothing but sour resentment. You tied me to your chest, to your cold hard empty shell, and tried to feel the warmth. There’s no more warmth, just a mirror of you. Like I said, the knots were too tight.

  22. sailors knot, tricky. Hard to untie whats already been done. Lifesaving, climbing (rocks and trees), belting, harnessing, slack-lining. Boyscouts can tie knots. But I usually can too, yay!

  23. Knute på tråden sier jeg. Men du sier at det ikke er det. Jeg er enig…
    En knute kan lages av to tråder, eller av to mennesker. Uansett er en knute aldri så hard at den ikke kan knytes opp.

  27. yarn knotted at the end of the ball of yarn. makes the cat angry because he can not play with the ball because it is knotted. It is angry because he likes the pink thread and loves playing with the game of chase the yard.

  29. My stomach in a knot, I know I must jump. The unbreakable sky below me seems to never end. There’s only one way to end this journey, and that is to start the journey. I run to the edge of the city, jump into the abyss, and let my fate lie in the hands of my wings.

  30. A simple slip, a bit of practice, the art of looping and then dissembling until something is strung together, becoming words and some semblance of a forgotten phrase about time, and energy and the connection between things that hold together with the most slender of threads, that hold us together still.

  32. My stomach was in one big knot. I hadn’t seen him in such a long time, I wondered if everything was going to be ok. If I was going to be ok, ok long enough to hold myself together. Christ this shouldn’t be that hard, I had seen him millions of times before. We would laugh, joke around, drink a few brews, we would live life together. This was nothing new, I had seen him so many times before. But I knew this was different, I knew it would never be the same. I brought my hand up to my eyes to wipe away the tears that had been flowing from my face, since the moment I had arrived. I got down on one knee and left a single rose on my friends grave. It would never be the same visiting him.

  35. The knot would have to hold. It was frayed at the ends and seemed to make a sound like a whisper as the climber dangled in his harness off the western face of the cliff, holding his breath and trying to gain momentum by slowly rocking back and forth, hoping with one final swing forward to hook his heels into the ragged mountaintop, to cling to the rocks above and to ascend, at last, to the peak.

  36. He was a knot I could never untangle. No matter how hard I tried, my mind could not forget that he wasn’t an it no matter what people thought of him. He was many things; not one of them was animal. I felt like I owed it to him to forgive with everyone either forgot or turned their back on my man.

  39. Marriage is something that is common in our society. Some men fear it, and women too. Other people can’t wait to find the person they want to spend the rest of their life with. Tying the knot is well known either way, I suppose.
