C’mon, blow

Someone very close to me has never blown his or her nose.

I cannot imagine this.  Blowing my nose brings me great pleasure.  It clears my nasal passages and helps me breathe easier.  It is quite the delight.

There are times when I feel I absolutely must blow my nose.. If I can’t find a tissue, I get frantic.  Just writing about it now makes me feel the need for a good blow.

I have discussed this with my friend.  I have explained the benefits and sheer joy of a hearty olefactory cleansing.  He or she would not be convinced.

It saddens me that such an amazing gift is going completely unnoticed.

To his or her credit, this person has a broad palate.  He or she will try any food at least once.  On many occasions, he or she has told me, “You don’t know what you’re missing.”

I imagine, we all have something that we are closed off to trying.

But why?
