I agree, and I didn't mean to make it seem like it was easy. The system is purposefully stacked against us such that the amount of creative, highly-agentic minds are kept to a minimum in order to maintain the status quo.

For the most part, our station in life is something we constantly wage war against from the moment of birth. Coming from a very poor and abusive background, I was homeless by 16 and left with a choice of fully committing to boring technical work, or taking advantage of already being at rock bottom and surgically improving my skills over years until I've become as well-rounded as I would like. It's a lifelong journey, though.

I do wish you luck and I hope you do find time to accomplish some of your desires. You will definitely have to create time and space for it though, free time likely won't magically appear within your current routine.
