This is interesting to me, because exercising, and changing my lifestyle to support that, are what has given me that hunger for life.

Runner's high or the sense of accomplishment from a 100 mile bike ride or a tough day hike make me feel more alive than any party ever did.

There’s an awful lot of life still ahead of your early twenties, and I had several loose friends in college who burnt themselves out on drugs. You don’t have to be a prude, but you can cut a long, bright future very short indeed without some restraint.

I definitely think there's some truth to this, and I would benefit from some kind of unwinding. I'm just not sure yet what it is. Drugs and alcohol tend to make me feel worse the next day(s).

alchol and eating fried food ( what is on my mind) give me intense heartburn.

Another perk of getting old ;)
