My ankles, knees, and hips are often a source of great pain to me but deservedly so because of the trespasses of youth. I was climbing before I walked, jumping from my grandmother's roof when I was 4, and I was an avid swingset launcher. It's hard to describe that heady feeling of fear and exhilaration when you would swing back so high that you were above the bar the chains were attached to. Then that rush as you came forward at mach 1 and fired yourself from the heavy vinyl belt and were airborne, free of all earthly constraints for just a few moments. I don't know what I would give to feel that again without the consequences of the landing. I earned my pain.
