In this economy, would you still work if you don't have to? What job is the happiest one for you?

...But for most of us, I dare say we just keep swimming and swimming, even when what we truly want is to just sleep.

But it's a cute idea. The concepts of happiness and necessity may look contradicting to someone who has to constantly provide...but I'm not putting an end to that. Maybe, just maybe, they can go together. Happiness and responsibilities.

Maybe soon. Some day soon. Some day real soon.

I would not work in the traditional sense, but I would have projects. I'm so exhausted from work. When I get prolonged time off it takes me like four or five days to recover and actually feel like doing things. I might write. I'd like to try to get into woodworking. I would be a lot more social.

I honestly feel like my life would be more impactful and meaningful without needing to work for a living.
