my goal in life is not to get out of poverty. i don't care.
whether i am above or below the poverty line is of no concern to me.
i don't want a house.
i don't want a car.
i don't want a family.
what i have is art to complete. that is my goal. that is all i care about. and, the more frustrated the situation is around it, the longer it takes to finish it - with no other consequence or corollary.
