Your Body Is Speaking
The doctor has spoken the word. Incurable. Perhaps they wrapped it softly, perhaps directly and clinically, perhaps you had already known for a long time and the diagnosis was only the official confirmation of what you had already sensed in your body. However the sentence reached you — it shattered something. A notion. An expectation. Perhaps an entire life plan.
And now you sit with this word. It hangs like a stone in your chest. It colours everything. Every meal, every glance in the mirror, every laugh from someone else suddenly carries this shadow: for me it is different. For me there is no going back. For me a door has fallen shut that is still open for others.
