Every word that doesn't turn into action becomes poison

If you are unemployed, first of all DON'T WORRY. It might be a brand new situation but it also holds a lot of chances. Think of it as a time that is mainly reserved for you, to reflect on your life so far and if you are heading into the right direction. What did you always wanted to do? What do you fear the most? Wasn't there a list of activities you were about to start when you FINALLY have time for it? Here it is. You can think of unemployment as a totally embarrassing situation, you've failed, you suck, you're useless. But deep inside you know this is just a big fat lie. Unfortunately you will be working again. In fact it's just the space for you between one job and the next one. So put your thoughts and dreams into action. First of all take a nice swim in the Züri lake, watch the mountains, feel the sun on your skin... you won't need yoga to relax anymore.

Stadium No 1

My first impression of unemployment was: This is total freedom! I felt great. I spent the first two weeks recovering from my pretty bad work experiences. I got back the sleep I missed, time to spend with friends and family and finally to enjoy Zurich will full attention again. After rehab, which included a three weeks lasting trip to the States, I started to realize that nothing is planned out for the future at all. And that was pretty scary. Usually you are bored with daily business and kind of numbed by your routine. Someone had pulled the infusion pipe with my daily drugs called work, stress, phone calls, earphones, noise, tiredness and a lag of sleep. When I was working still, all I wished for were some relaxed days in the sun, a bunch of hours to do whatever I want. Now I got all that, but I guess as soon as you have too much of something, you don't appreciate it anymore. The only craving I had, was for any reason to get up in the morning.

Right from the start

So here is the story behind. You already know that I became unemployed. The truth is, I quit my job. Yes. Probably not such a smart idea when you have only worked for a few years and just moved to Zurich. But in the end there was no choice. Or, well, there was. I chose to live my life the way I want to instead of getting it dictated. Work is necessary and also good for you in several ways. But you have to stay true to yourself and if you are treated disrespectful and tried everything to solve the problem then you just must go. So I left. That day was the first for months that I felt that I am myself again. So risk it! Do it! Say it! If you take decisions like that, you show that you're actually still alive instead of just being lived by life. What happened to me after my personal revolution will soon be available right here. Day by day. Have a good night Zurich. You are so god damn loaded, loaded and prosper. But secretly you cry in your bed. Don't you...
