Digital Detox - Day 7
Worked in the morning, drank most of the rest of the day to celebrate the solstice. Fireworks in Windsor at the night.
The running soundtrack of my life had his pause last Tuesday and finally resumed as of today to celebrate the solstice. It's not the same to hang by the pool without music. This is why I've excused the use of an iPod and speakers.
You know that Ke$ha song? Yeah, you know it. See if you can guess which one I mean. Phenylethylamine (PEA) is what we associate with the feeling of love. It is a neurochemical which quite literally gets us high. My friend and I got to wondering about it: if it's a drug, it'll act like a drug - addiction, capacity, tolerance, withdrawals, and all. Thinking like that, I realized the addictive capacity for different forms of relationships. With functioning long-distance relationships, you get a quick, strong fix, then a long break between exposures in comparison to their non-long distance counterparts. This would keep the strength of the dose relatively constant and not dwindle in intensity over time. In contrast, close-distance relationships should dwindle quickly due to overexposure of the drug, and probably build dependence.
