Ya know, moving sounds tempting and may solve some issues. Hey you might stike gold and get rich too! We all might. BUT there are no guarantees. I'm not saying don't move, I'm just saying don't move from the home you love if you can still accomplish what you dream of where you are. There will be plenty of advice to go chase your dream outa-town, just make sure your eyes are wide open if you do it.

What motivates any of us to grow and stretch ourselves? Surely it's going after what really interests us. I like music that not many of my friends dig but I've discovered some guys who do. It can take time and patience to make it happen. It might be a case of digging deeper and persevering for a while longer.

You said yourself that your maturity is a bit delayed, so now is the perfect time to deepen some discipline and patience. If you have the interests in the music you do, then hone those skills further, plus if your particular musical interests are that strong, you may find that unless your skills come up, others may not raise their own interest to you. You did say your playing has slumped. I just thing you're still young enough to be patient with yourself, dig deeper, follow your musical interests and stay on the lookout for others who are similar. Many guys of your age are fairly narrow in their tastes and it's great that you have a broader than average taste bud for styles.
Don't be discouraged. I wish I exercised more discipline at your age. I'm doing it now!

When in doubt, Keep Time!
