About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write.
Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground.

Blushing
Prompt: Some people blush very easily. What do you think blushing shows?
================
Although it is said that spicy foods and alcohol can trigger blushing, many people blush more easily than others. It doesn’t matter if one is pale skinned or not. If one blushes more easily, one blushes more easily. They have no control over it. It is one of those things when the body betrays its owner. One can’t control it with the will power, either.
Some say that people begin to blush when they feel they are being watched. Others say that it is the result of embarrassment or guilt, but none of those things are scientifically proven. Lots of guilty or embarrassed people do not blush. My guess is, blushing happens usually due to some sort of a stress trigger.
Case in point: When I was in my teens, I used to blush like crazy. It probably came from feeling self-conscious, but there was more to it; if I was doing something difficult or I felt someone staring at me, my face would burn up, too. Once in high school, we were taking a test, and I must have turned into such a lobster that the teacher came near me to check my fever. Then, she wondered if I were cheating. She checked around my desk and my clothing. I turned even redder. Lol! I have to tell you that of all the stages in my life, I hated, despised, got nauseous over my teenage years; I still do when I remember it. My blushing was almost always a part of the problem.
Over the years, it diminished, and now, thank God, to my knowledge, I am blushing no more. Maybe because I don’t give a fly’s ass to what other people think of me.
