I started motorcycling. Previously I was always passionately and categorically against it, I've always said that any pleasure you could get from it is not worth the potential pain you could suffer from an accident.
But that was an earlier time, when i valued my own life and comfort more than I do today. Now I just think about what I can do to distract myself and i don't care what the consequences are. Living every day is so difficult I can't focus on trivialities such as how dangerous cycling may be.
