You will never have the lens that will make you 100% satisfied! Get used to the lens you already have.

Don't you ever buy lens or equipment on maximum emotions. Get used to the lens you already have. Save some money till christmass sale or so and you will get your satisfaction as a reward plus lens you wanted for reasonable price.
3)
Become better in post processing (take some lessons). Post processing is the only way to the satisfaction of using DSLR.
4)
Never impose your "free" services to the friends. You run the risc of meeting negative being intrusive at the wrong moment. Making session with negative feelings and full usfulness of this event... In the end you will have to Post Process pics understanding that no one need them...

Always take the camera with you. Get a bag or a shoulder strap and go with your cam. When walking on the streets - turn the camera on and start breathing the life!

And greatest newest Post procession. "Normal" people don't see it.
