Totally agree. I have been thinking a lot about this in the recent years.

However, money is still an important consideration to survive in a capitalist world. The things I like to do doesn't pay me bills. Or I haven't found a way to monetise them yet.

At the moment, I am just thinking that unless i move to a remote area where i can grow my vegetables, hunt and be self-sufficient, it is likely that I need to rely on a job to generate income for my basic needs.

Sometimes I wish I had been born in a different world.

Also wanted to add that i'm sorry about your layoff, all the best for your next phase :)
