I was unemployed during the crash of 09 for like 7 months. First 3 months we're glorious, and I love to pursue my hobbies. Month 4 I started to get super down. I still love to not work, but I've learned I really do enjoy and love the challenge of work and I love to solve problems and meet people.

Everyone should get that break, tho, because without it, I think work will always feel like an obligation to resent.
