Sliding out of 1st Gear!

Well, the time is almost time for me to move out of my brother's apartment that I've been sharing with him. So, I guess its time to move out of 1st Gear, and into 2nd Gear. I've been in 1st Gear for a quite long while, and I feel that the traffic is starting to pick up and that I'm confident enough to move into 2nd Gear. Now 2nd Gear is a lot different then 1st Gear for the reason that I'm ready to start taking risks again with my finances and social life. In 1st Gear, I've been more of a homebody then anything else, and partly in a Soul Searching period or even trying to rebuild my castle since the recession basically made it collapse. I know I need to pick up my Bass Guitar though, but I think I'll leave it in the case until after I move into my own place, because I'm ready to take it more serious. I've always been under the view that if you aren't going to do something with your whole heart and full commitment then you shouldn't do it, because I basically have no desire to fuck around with my love for music... either I'm going to do it 100% effort or it will remain in the case. The same goes with every other aspect in my life, unless I'm going to put my full effort into it, I'll just leave it the fuck alone. But I'm tired of fucking around... it's time to move into 2nd Gear, and I have no problem pushing people out of my life that I feel are holding me back.
