I wonder, though, IS Danny REALLY "unable to find peace" or happiness? I question that.

There was a stretch of time in my life when I found myself "homeless" (and, yes, "a drunk", too)...I wouldn't want those days back again in the ever-so-slightest way, but I wouldn't say that I wasn't at peace or unhappy. Those tags were dumped on me by others. At the time, I felt "free" & unencumbered by life's troubles. To the rest of the world, (apparently) I WAS troubled, but in my own mind (however warped I may have been), I was just fine, thank you.
