Keep your hands inside the car at all times.

People often remark to me that I live life very intensely. (They also say that I overreact to everything, which is pretty much the same thing in my mind.)

The best phrase I can come up with to describe how living my life that intensely feels is "like riding a rollercoaster blindfolded."

I suppose that might sound like fun. It leaves me feeling like I need to throw up a lot of the time.

But I suppose if I changed that, then I wouldn't be me...

I once had a friend who said he admired my passion because I threw myself entirely into everything I did.

I had a similar reaction.

I know what you mean, but the times when I have managed to be calm and happy and basically less intense I've found not that I'm less me, but more. The intensity doesn't go away, it's just more properly focused.. like taking off the blindfold. :)

I used to live life in a whirlwind. Then I got older and tireder. Now a donkey's pace is fine with me.

I'm the same way.

I'm envious of how passionate you are about everything. You're experiencing life with great gusto, don't change.

I don't think so. You are you, regardless of your choices.

Oh, I think it's in the genetics. And we must be cousins ;)
