My sister finds a beautiful picture of Jesus Christ with his heart showing somewhere in the internet. This image of the Sacred Heart, is beautiful indeed, and very divine, but it doesn't belong anywhere in my house. Why my mother printed and framed it, and then decided to give it to me as a present was surely a nice thing on her side, but she has negatively affected my psyche forever. As I write this lines, my guilt is whipping and inevitably punishing my mind.

I swear I have tried, I put the thing on the wall, but I just don't like having an image of Jesus looking at me and reviving my guilt every minute as I seat in my living room.

So I decided to put the Jesus poster in the closet, and then maybe, I might forget that my mother ever did this to me, but I can't put the image of Christ face down, I feel bad about doing this since it just feels wrong. Well, now everytime I open the closet to put or get anything there he is, staring at me like if he was asking me, why did you put me here? Is this the way you treat Jesus after what I did for you?.

The truth is that if my mother would have given me some other image that wasn't as expressive and dramatic it probably would have been on the wall of my living room and this post and website would have not been up. I guess I have to thank you mom, thanks. I have started a site dedicated to those presents that someone gives you, that you wish you had never received.
