The Sarah Project: Day 4 (Barely)

I worked on a photo project today and finished a Matlab program. In short - I almost forgot to blog.

Alcohol Use:
In moderation, for the right reasons (social atmosphere), with the right people, and at the right maturity.
Not for addiction, depression, overcoming shyness, or to look cool.
I think I'll drink when I'm ready, legally, at the right maturity, for the right reasons, with the right people, and in moderation.

Relationships:
I'm going to make a bold statement: Communication is more important than passion in a romantic relationship. Being able to compromise to meet eachother's needs, as well as fully talking and working through difficulties, whether personal or within the relationship, is more important than passionate or pleasurable intimacy.  
Thus, sex is not necessary for a successful romantic relationship.

Have a wonderful Thursday,
Go Class, Take Notes,
Sincerely,
Sarah

  1. I don't think that is all that bold, and completely agree with everything you said. I pretty much hold the same beliefs. Except maybe the "Go to class, take notes" part :P

  3. "Social atmosphere" and "overcoming shyness" are more similar than you think.

    Social anxiety is more crippling than some people can imagine.

  4. I get social anxiety sometimes. I know maybe somewhat of how you feel. I just don't think people with social anxiety should drink to overcome it. You have to look into why you have it first. Its not a healthy coping mechanism.
