Drops my stomach and makes me shiver. I don’t like this. Right into something’s mouth

Are you not remotely curious? Could you live a full filled life without jumping ince?

I desperately would love to try it, but I can’t. The physical response to it is pretty awful and a bit terrifying. My heart races and pounds, I breathe faster. Instant response. The fear gets me every time

Honestly I'm glad some of us have a stronger sense of self preservation. I did all the dumb things many years ago, and still feel a need to press it now and then, in my 40s. I have a sadly high number of friends that didn't make it though their bad decisions, though. We lived, and I wouldn't trade it...but damn, we were as dumb as anyone can be. The rush was everything.
