Maybe... in a couple months, I budget for my first commission in a while. It has been too long and I am longing for little affirmations. Artwork soothes me, and I do feel a little more lucid with something to fawn over for a while.
It's maybe not the most forward-thinking allocation of my very limited resources, but I am steadily getting to a point where I merely abstain from recreation expenses to keep any contingency available. This is miserable. Living an artless, pleasureless life is not worth the money saved if all that is left is the money and a feeling of emptiness.
