I used to live to work, then I just somehow lived but hardly enjoyed it, then I worked to live and I enjoyed it less. Now I live to find work and I also work and it's somewhat manageable, but I'm not happy.

I want to live to work again. I just need the right job.

Yeah, that's similar to my experience. The right job is important. At one point working, for me was so stifling that I even left my country of birth to look for the perfect job culture.

I never found it, but at least the balance has shifted from being depressed to being acceptable of my job no matter how disappointing or discouraging it can be occasionally. But the moment I know it's making me feel that it's nothing but just going through the daily mundane patterns just to live another day, it's time for me to look for another.
