Many of us cannot say we have not been in an embarrassing situation before because at one point in life, someone or something could cause us to be embarrassed. It could be a funny moment or an annoying moment but at least, I feel it is worth sharing.
I am calling out everyone to join me in this, yes including you. I mean you that's reading this text. You must have experienced a moment or two that you can share with the community.
So, I will start this engagement by sharing a story of an embarrassing moment that was quite painful and at the same time it was funny.
First, my birth name is Emmanuel, and I am a guitarist. I play sometimes in studios and most times in church services. My church was holding a particular praise concert, and I am the main guitarist for that show.
On the day of the concert, I arrived early, so I could quickly set my instrument for the program. I was on stage that particular day sound checking my guitar. After I was satisfied with the sound of the guitar, I began to freestyle on stage. I could see people watching me on stage playing, and I was enjoying myself. It was almost time for the concert to start and the church choir were not fully ready.
I got tired standing on stage just playing the guitar. So, I decided to drop the guitar and sit on the drummer's chair. As I dropped the guitar and sat on the chair, I fell down backwards. The stage curtain fell down on me, my legs hit the toms of the drum, and they fell. All this happened when the congregation were already full. They all laughed at me as I fell down on stage.
As everyone laughed at me that night, I had to also laugh immediately I got up so that I will not feel the pain I felt. The truth is, it was as if I should cry that night but I covered it with laugh. When I stood up, everybody around me was telling me sorry eh. This made it hard to hold the tears because anytime I feel pained about something, and they tell me sorry, it will be hard to hold that pain.
It became hard to play my guitar to my full potential that night because I was not comfortable standing on stage. I lost my vibes the moment I fell on that stage. It was quite painful but now it is a nice memory which I can never forget.
