The Cringe

To be honest I have had enough experiences of cringe throughout my life, for the same reason I tend to say that my life is itself constant cringe, because of this, I have been thinking for several days what event I would like to relate. The truth is that I am too ashamed to tell this, because it is not terrible at all, objectively much worse things have happened to me, but the feeling it gives me when I remember it surpasses any other event.

I was 8 or 9 years old and we had gone to Church with my mother, the truth is I don't remember very well what was celebrated, but it was a special day, so at the end of the mass there was a moment in which a group of ladies came up to the altar to present some images of the Virgin of Schönstatt, until then everything normal, the fact is that the priest began to bless these images.

It is at that moment when my mother asks me to come closer so that this blessing also serves for a new rosary that I had. I must be honest, I did not understand what she meant, so I went to the altar and had the great idea of taking one of the images that the ladies had, consequently leaving a lady without her image, precisely when I realized that the Church was full and that I should not be there, when I tried to get out of there, I see that a lady comes to me with the intention of taking the image and because of how nervous I was trying to pass it on, it fell and although it did not break, everyone was silent and the Father in a loud voice asked me to get off, I think after that, Climbing up to the front of whatever seems like a much harder challenge to achieve than before. To finish I must say that perhaps it is not a cringe itself, but the image of that moment did not come out of my head while I was trying to make this blog.

I hope that this blog has not given you so much embarrassment and that you have been able to enjoy it, until next time.
