A thought:

Life is too short to be prudent and to “plan” for the future. Perhaps to live a happier life we should live more recklessly, dangerously, and take more epic risks in things which interest us, or things which were curious about.

Indulge your artwork

It seems the optimal strategy to life is to prioritize your artwork. I think art is the ultimate luxury; specifically, you focusing on creating your own artwork.

Art over all.
