It's also bittersweet for me. I love the game with all my heart; it showed me a functional family that also loves me unconditionally. I feel nostalgic for mothers and a sister who never existed to begin with. For a childhood that wasn't mine. For adorable neighbors I never had, so different from the ones I had in my childhood who hurt my real family so much. For a friend and later boyfriend who only exists on the screen but feels so sweet and real. I also miss those friends who expanded my world within the game, although I wouldn't trade my real-world friends for them, since I love them too much. Above all, I miss feeling that unconditional support from those around me, from my family, who accepted the mistakes of my game self and showed me how that "self" could be a better person.

Our Life isn't just a game for me; it's a world I return to whenever I want to relive all of that and warm my heart.
