I miss being unemployed
i'm extremely lucky to have found a job in an area i'm genuinely interested in and enjoy, but i forgot how tiring it is and how little time i have for anything else.
i miss having the freedom to pursue my hobbies and feeling in control of what it is that i'm doing. i miss the opportunity to learn new crafts and eat when i want to eat. i miss have agency and not counting down the hours to when i can go home only to be faced with laundry and chores. even at home, i'm so tired from work that i don't have the mental capacity to engage in hobbies.
i'm so grateful for this opportunity and i also don't miss being stressed 24/7 about money, but i wish we weren't forced to slave away.
in a dream world, i have enough money to not have to work. i'd live on a farm and source my own dairy and hunt/fish and grow vegetables
