This man has lived a life many fantasise about, although perhaps not a very comfortable one. I think sometimes I lived a colourful, varied life but what a story for this piece.

I can't believe I have to do the reddit edit postscriptum but really, does everyone dislike the author? I certainly could never be this sort of person, but what a story, living life on the edge and making it up as they go along. Do commenters never daydream, like just imagine how life would be if things had turned out differently?

The reason why so many people dislike the author is because he's incessantly creating problems for other people. If he only did it for himself, the outlook would probably be more sympathetic.

I didn't read it super closely but it doesn't seem like he's blaming anyone but himself (and chance) for his various problems. For that, I can respect it. Even if I have a very hard time imagining what it would take for me to choose it.
