== Thrills ==
Thrills can refer to a variety of experiences and phenomena that evoke excitement, exhilaration, or heightened emotional states. These experiences can be physical, psychological, or a combination of both. Thrills are often sought after for their ability to provide a sense of adventure, pleasure, and escape from the mundane.
