If I'm not exploring something new, I don't feel alive.New experiences give me a rush,whether physical,creative,intellectual,tactile,etc.I am interested in and dabble in almost anything.However,I cycle between them for short periods,constantly finding new things to try.This means I am also a great starter,but a poor finisher,but I feel constantly exhilarated.
