How I Wasted my Life (at age 32)

At 32, Daniel feels worse off than at 17–20, citing his father's death, Toffee's death, lost innocence, and no legacy. He dismisses marriage, relationships, travel, YouTube success, and income because they ended; rusty Japanese and Korean no longer feel useful. He questions whether life requires children, wealth, or durable creations, and fears decline after a late-twenties peak.

Past gains are judged only by present utility, turning accomplishments into perceived net loss.
