In my 20s I lived with reckless abandon. Nothing was thought through, and I chased adrenaline like it owed me money. At 42, I still get the rush. It just comes from different places now. Missing the last stair in the dark. A noise from the car I've never heard before. Phone at 3% with no charger in sight. Sneezing while lifting something heavy. My back making a brand new sound. And the scariest one of all: "Hey, do you have a minute?"
Back then it was "hold my beer." Now it's "hold my reading glasses."
I'm still living on the edge. The edge just moved.
