I had a pretty wild youth, which is atypical considering I’m booknerd type. Got shot at. Moved contraband for tuition money. Chased skirts. Did ALL OF THE DRUGS, went to the raves. Got arrested. Got in a couple serious brawls. Like I said, wild. I chilled out in my early thirties and became a Christian conservative type, taking the iron pill and starting weight loss shit, audiobooks in the weight room. Fairly ascetic lifestyle outside of that.
I joke that I just burnt out all my dopamine receptors. Sometimes I wonder to what extent it’s just a joke.
