Prompt: @daily.prompt/12-march-2025-mariannewests-freewrite-writing-prompt-day-2673-that-sinking-feeling
That sinking feeling that sometimes takes over your mind, pushing you to extremes—making you do things you’re not supposed to do. We all know that feeling. The one that makes you want to pay your boyfriend’s school fees. The same feeling that makes you lie to your parents, pretending you need money for textbooks, when in reality, you plan to spend it on your boyfriend. That sinking feeling that drives you to sell your father’s property just to take care of a man. The same feeling that pushes you to dangerous jobs just to provide for your girlfriend.
That sinking feeling can be overwhelming, even reckless. That’s why people say love is blind. But love isn’t actually blind. What many don’t realize is that if love is blind, marriage will surely open its eyes.
So, think twice before you fall into the trap of that sinking feeling. Because marriage is an eye-opener. When the wedding is over, when the children come, your eyes will be clear.
Thanks for your time
