I feel like I am letting time pass me by and letting my talent o to waste. I know that I should be writing and teaching but I have been out of the game for a while. I guess the best thing to do is just start writing again and playing again. I think I already know what I need to do, but wanted to see if others went through this before and how they handled it.

Well first of all, through out my experience as a music lover and musician myself. Everything is always A-1 with me as long as I don't let myself become "Frustrated". Nothing worse can happen to a music enthusiast than becoming a frustrated musician. You have to always keep it all in fun without becoming to overly serious in certain aspects. I can really relate to your statement "talent go to waste". And I understand what it means to take a break away from music as well. Especially when the practice makes perfect rule falls into play.
Looking on the bright side though, If you are not a really seasoned musician/artist right at the moment. That means that you still maintain your innocence (raw talent) and honesty as a songwriter. Your music could very well be unpolluted by producers, other songwriters, critics, etc. I personally never cared about sharing my lyrics/music with anyone other than myself. Its a very personal thing to some people that way, just knowing their own capabilities is sometimes enough satisfaction.
Good Luck with your music lewisrg!
