The Edge Question

What is the author's viewpoint on life in "The Edge is Where I Want to Be?" Use examples from text to prove your answer.

I think the author's viewpoint on life, using an example from the text would be something about the "Limit" Of everything.
The author says "The edge is a cliff you've dangled from in a hundred nightmares." It sounds like the edge is the limit, where you cant go any more and where everything finally stops. Theres also the "Mushy Middle" where you live without the edge. The author comes back and makes a final statement later on "Quit your job, quit smoking, quit whining leave that jerk, write that poem, go dancing, get sober, take a road trip-a dare-a spin-a lover-a change honey, break down and cry if that's what it takes then pick your butt up and for all your're worth run don't walk to the edge."
