I understand your rationale and sounds like everything is going swimmingly. In my eyes some things aren't meant to be 'optimized' or taken so seriously, like when you are teenager. Or maybe I'm just playing Devil's advocate.
Why not take something seriously if it is meaningful to you? I don't take (for example) the high school prom at all seriously, rather when I was in high school I look learning foreign languages seriously. Isn't freedom all about letting people decide for themselves what to value?
