Give up on giving up.

There are so many circumstances around our lifes that would make us feel like  throwing in the towel, situations that are seemingly beyond repair and salvation. Friends and families we are tired of trying to love. we want it all to end, we want to feel free from the stress.

The fact that you are not officially on the list of employees in a firm or organization does not make you unemployed. Even if you are not an entrepreneur in any form, you are still not unemployed.  Yes, the fact that you have something to do (you are not jobless) you are of value (in use) and can get a form of remuneration (be paid for what you do) means you are not unemployed.
