Missing those unemployed days, especially in this monsoon season when I used to enjoy tea or coffee while watching the rain.
I know some people might judge me, but honestly, those were beautiful days. I had the time and space to focus on myself, grow, and reflect.
Yes, there were moments of anxiety and self-doubt—especially when I saw my friends working while I was still figuring things out. But with consistent effort, patience, and belief, I eventually found an opportunity.
Now that I'm working and busier than ever, I find myself missing those peaceful moments.
To anyone who’s currently unemployed or facing a layoff: use this time wisely. Work on yourself, embrace the small joys, and don’t lose hope. Trust me, this phase is not the end—it’s a chance to reset and rise. It’s worth it.

Brother can we exchange places. Happy to be employed rather than drown in self harm and anxiety
I second that, I'd rather be stuck in a 9-5 than drown in uncertainty
For each and everyone , the other end seems to be green. Coz I also feel the same as the author
Resigned my job 3 months back due to some personal matters with no savings at all. Learned to swim at 30. Went to gym regularly and lost 5kg. Improved my hip mobility. Watched lot of movies. Learned to cook many things. Started running. I haven’t been this much content in my life since my college days. Now I’m broke but I’m happy I took this decision. I will make money Iater but I won’t be young again.
Truly the best days to grow oneself. I'm not really unemployed. On unpaid leave due to medical issues. Though I feel good, I don't like rushing to resume work. Taking the necessary time to recover and build a healthy routine
never seen someone romanticise unemployment, that’s new
