The discussion we had in class on Tuesday regarding knowing ourselves and being in relationships, hit home for me. I am currently in a six year relationship and sometimes find myself questioning where I stand in my relationship. It is true, if we do not know who we are, how do we expect relationships to grow? I believe that with age, we gradually develop more and more. If I were still the same as I was five years ago, I don't believe i would be as opened minded or independent as I am now. I also believe however, that we can continue to find ourselves even in relationships. Why not? My boyfriend and I basically grew up together. But I sometimes do wonder, what kind of person I would be if we were not together.
On another note, I was also equally disgusted with the "Stuff" chart Dr. Hollist presented in class. I don't think too many people realize those sorts of things. I guess I never think about it because I am in a monogamous relationship. It makes me think of the statistics shown on charts in hospitals and doctors offices. I believe that if we hung that particular chart up in ever dorm and college crash pad, STDs would dramatically change. oh, by the way kudos to Dr. Hollist for the joke about spring break in class.
