I find it important to remind myself that while unemployment does suck, my life does not. If it sounds like a contradictions, let me tell you it is not. First and foremost working is a part of my life, and there are things I mention before about paying your way, and how jobs create structure, and that's gone for the moment. Well now it's up to me to give myself some structure. My life doesn't suck because of the love and support I receive. It's what I need and helps me prgroess in a tough economy.
I should mention unemployment benefits are relatively small compared to my former working wages, and trust me, no one should have top live off of them. It's quite humbling. I see a lesson in here. I'm constantly redefining how I should live and spend my money. It's not an ideal station at all, but when I get stripped down to the essentials, it makes me appreciate what I do have. Still, in the case of emergencies, I would be screwed. Replacing an alternator right now is only possible though my support system. God bless my peeps who remind me that we have to help each other because we don't have anyone else. So unemployment does suck. Support system rules with the utmost.
