I’ve been edge all my life. I made the actual decision, though, when I was 13. My older brother almost died because of alcohol that summer. Five years later, my little sister almost died. Both of them had been drinking when they had their accidents. Both of them still drink and do drugs, and my sister is trying to cut back on it, plus her smoking, because of her daughter. I’m 24 years old and have been consciously edge for eleven years now. It’s hard to do in today’s world, where it seems like everyone drinks and you’re the odd man out, but it is possible and it’s very worth it in the end.
