I’m a 29-year-old Polish guy. I lack self-confidence (I was bullied by my peers and teachers as a kid). I live with my parents, I’ve finished college, and I work in game development. My income isn’t great, but at least I don’t have to pay for gas since I work remotely. I wanted to move to a big city, but because of the COVID situation, the monthly rent for a regular room is practically half my paycheck. I feel tired; fewer and fewer things make me smile. I don’t feel like I’m making any progress. I feel like I’ve finished the story mode of my life, hit a bad ending, and now I’m stuck dealing with the consequences of my choices in a sandbox with no events. Ever since I finished high school, I’ve been stuck in the same place. My thoughts keep circling around unfinished business. Around memories that, aside from the bullying, were full of freedom and naivety, a lack of awareness of how the world works. They say that a stupid, unaware person is a happy person, and I see the truth in that.
