First & foremost find a way to appreciate & enjoy the skills you have.


There are a lot of people with the desire to learn.  But they lack the time to build skills.  Or they didn't make or have the time in their youth to build a foundational skill set to rely on.  There are people with the skills but have other priorities with no extra time for the luxury of deciding which instrument they'd like to improve on or gig with.


Any of the paths you mentioned could be a source of enjoyment through achievement:  finishing original tunes, getting a gig drumming, improving your bass or guitar playing.  I think it's mostly a matter of you deciding which one would be most personally satifying & fulfilling to you & giving it a go.


Make a list of pros & cons.  Prioritize your desires & musical goals.  Enjoy the skills you have & appreciate you have the luxury of choosing!


Hope that helps!
