Introducing highs and lows into your life, on purpose

[Mick Mac]

Many people are very sensible and glide through life like a leaf on a millpond. Never ruffled, rarely excited.

That's one way to do it.

Others purposefully introduce drugs, alcohol, bringing physical highs and lows. Some people attach themselves to sports teams, through which they live through emotional highs and lows, others excite themselves with dangerous personal relationships, or like their careers to dominate all else.

Gliding through is probably the way forward. I think I will adopt this approach from now on.

On the whole i've gone the excitement route in most of the areas you mention...quite happy without it nowadays, except a bit of poker. Don't regret that much tho.

As a youth I spent a lot of time and money trying to lose my mind/get off me nut etc.

Now I worry that I might lose my mind.

At least you are sane enough to spend all day on here replying to threads.

sometimes, just for a cheap sexual thrill, I punish myself by having cottage cheese on a rice cake for lunch.

I'm like one of those monks out of that channel 4 programme or that dan brown abomination. but with pale-coloured food.

Gliding sounds wonderful,

But there are too many barriers in my way.

Maybe one day......?

I live in hope.
