#WeeklyPrompts Weekend Challenge – Confused

Confused

15.08.2026

There are different levels of confused.

There is:

“Where did I put my glasses?”

Usually while wearing them.

There is:

“Why did I walk into this room?”

And then there is…

put me in a maze.

I am absolutely terrible in mazes.

At first, I will confidently walk in thinking:

How difficult can this possibly be?

Left.
Right.
Another left.

Oh, look! I’ve been here before.

Okay… right this time.

Five minutes later, I’ve passed the same hedge four times, I no longer know which direction I came from, and my confidence has officially left the maze without me.

Then confusion turns into panic.

Everyone else seems to be having fun:

“Let’s try this way!”

Meanwhile, I’m thinking:

WE HAVE TRIED THIS WAY. THREE TIMES. WE LIVE HERE NOW. 😂

I know perfectly well that it’s only a maze and there is an exit somewhere.

My brain, however, has already accepted that this is my new permanent address.

Eventually, somebody with a functioning sense of direction usually rescues me.

And the moment I see the exit?

Relief.

Freedom.

A solemn promise never to enter another maze again.

Which I will probably forget the next time someone says:

“Come on, it’ll be fun!”

Confused?

Yes.

Lost?

Definitely.

Going into another maze voluntarily?

Ask me again when I’ve forgotten the last one. 😂💜

    Maggie, I felt this in my bones. The confidence walking in. The growing horror as you realize you’ve been here before. The panic that somehow this maze is now your permanent residence.

    And that last line absolutely. You’ll forget. We all do. Because hope is stronger than memory. 💜

    Much love 🥰
