I was laid off from my job on May 29th, and since then, I've been struggling with my hobbies, particularly my long-time passion for playing the flute. Before the layoff, I practiced every weekend and attended classes that cost several hundred dollars per session. Playing the flute always brought me joy and relaxation. Now, however, I've had to stop attending classes, and I haven't practiced since losing my job. I even considered selling my flute next week to get some money back, which feels heartbreaking. It's strange because I suddenly have a lot of free time to practice, yet I find myself unmotivated to pick it up. When I was busy with work, I truly valued my practice time, but now that I have the time, the desire seems to have vanished. I really hate being unemployed and am curious about how others have managed their hobbies after being laid off. Did you continue with your hobbies, or did you give them up?
