This feels so tempting to go down the widdle babygirl/puppygirl route since work is so stressful and exhausting, but at the same time it feels like it won’t be so fun after a little while because I like buying nice things sometimes >~<
I can tell you that, in our capitalist hellscape, being unemployed for a year a half fucking sucks. I’ve been able to keep myself busy by helping friends because I was free and playing a lot of music and stuff, and my evenings didn’t need to change much despite seeing people frequently enough, but yea you don’t want this. Hell, I’ve only been kept alive because of my parents and I have to be very careful about expenses because of it and even feel guilty when buying necessities.
Find a good work-life balance. Leave work on time and make sure you leave it where it’s at and don’t bring it home unless you’re actively fighting for better protections, pay, and saner work hours(being grumpy and ranting doesn’t count!). A lot of people let jobs grind them down and we gotta shift ourselves away from that because it’s killing us but also routines and purpose are kinda nice.
Yeah, that’s fair. I don’t really have family supports to fall back on and I just built up a small emergency fund for the first time so it’s not a serious consideration as much as it is nice to daydream about, especially since I feel like I’m able to also find routines and purpose for myself if not for my lack of independent wealth or support structure (beyond my partner that I wouldn’t want to just live off of)
The work-life balance has been a big struggle of going back and forth on getting to saner hours while also having a bunch of mental health stuff going on from not dealing with earlier in life and starting a job search since the company I’m at might fold. I know I’m not alone and I am in a privileged position having employment, but as someone that is easily overwhelmed and struggling mentally, the escape from responsibility is a nice thought in a vacuum.
I am starting the process of seeking help now that I can afford it, but it’s more “work” to do anyways.
I’m sorry for the wall of text, but yeah rationally it’s not wise to just not be employed, though it’s at least a nice daydream that’ll stay that way hopefully.
