Abstract and keywords too big to fit first page

Question

I have a title and abstract which respects the following codes length. I want to have the abstract and keywords at the first page, is there a way to make it fit nicely?


\documentclass[12pt, draft]{article}
\usepackage{natbib}
\usepackage{setspace} 
 \doublespacing
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage {tikz}
\usepackage[skip=0pt]{caption}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\title{A nice article about how to have a happy life in a savage world}
\author{Someone Happy\thanks{Nowhere University \texttt{myemail@somewhere.com}} \and Other Person \thanks{Faculty of Wisdom, University of some place, Earth. \texttt{myemail@somewhere.com}}}
\date{}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\begin{abstract}
 \blindtext[1] BBBBBBBEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPYYYYYY
 \end{abstract}
 {\bf Keywords:} Something, Uplifiting, Cheerup!, you can do it, I trust you.
\section{Introduction}
\end{document}

Shift title and author text up? could be intersting if you want to reduce the space above the title in order to allow title, authors, abstract and keywords to fit onto one page. — leandriis, Aug 02 '20 at 18:47
Yup works! Added \vspace{-2.0cm} to the title and fits very well. Thanks! — ELLA, Aug 02 '20 at 18:53
Suggestion: Don't run \doublespacing in the preamble and, instead, run it right before \section{Introduction}. — Mico, Aug 02 '20 at 19:16
Off topic: If both amsmath and amsthm are used, load amsmath1 *before*amsthm`. — barbara beeton, Aug 03 '20 at 01:21

I would like to suggest you take the following approach:

Remove the instruction \doublespacing from the preamble.
Insert the instruction \setstretch{1.5} right before \begin{abstract}.
Insert the instructions clearpage\doublespacing right before \section{Introduction}.

\documentclass[12pt, draft]{article}
\usepackage{natbib}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage {tikz}
\usepackage[skip=0pt]{caption}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\title{A nice article about how to have a happy life in a savage world}
\author{Someone Happy\thanks{Nowhere University \texttt{myemail@somewhere.com}} \and Other Person \thanks{Faculty of Wisdom, University of some place, Earth. \texttt{myemail@somewhere.com}}}
\date{}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\setstretch{1.5}
\begin{abstract}
 \blindtext[1] BBBBBBBEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPYYYYYY
 \end{abstract}
 {\bf Keywords:} Something, Uplifiting, Cheerup!, you can do it, I trust you.
\clearpage
\doublespacing
\section{Introduction}
\blindtext[2]
\end{document}

Thank you Mico! Very grateful. Positive vibes towards you :) — ELLA, Aug 03 '20 at 12:47
