Drawing my sad life

The story links Daniel’s illness, grandfather’s 1999 death, school move, bullying, and gaming isolation to lasting social anxiety. His first Japan trip ended after four weeks when he cheated; six-to-seven years of Japan– Korea–England travel followed. By 2017 he had a Japanese wife, moved to Japan, avoided conventional employment, and now games on Twitch; happiness remains unresolved.

Japan and romantic escape fulfilled his goals, but the unresolved happiness question signals continued dissatisfaction.
