A burst of laughter escaped me as I scrambled up the climbing wall at the gym. Each grip, each movement felt exhilarating. My muscles burned, but the burn felt good, alive. I could feel the electricity in my veins. The music was loud, I liked it loud. As I swung my legs, the gym manager, Mr. Evans, was gesturing at me, and his voice was audible above the music. "Could you be a bit less... boisterous? The yoga class is complaining about the noise."
