Well you seem to know yourself -- an important achievement -- and what makes you happiest is likely the least expensive way to go. Sucess!

If there's an implied question here about adding an electric I will say these general observations (which may or may not fit you):

An electric, particularly the solid-body or nearly so electric guitars that are the most popular models, is quite different from an acoustic guitar, even though it shares the same "user interface" of strings and a fretboard. That may make it less of a "which one to play" puzzle for you.

If you fear an electric guitar will cause a "which one" issue, but have an hankering for another instrument there are even greater differences for some other instruments: uke, mandolin, dulcimer, and electric bass.

If you go with an electric instrument you have a high likelihood of needing an amplifier. Which means some more shopping. That can be fun, but you're not done when you get an electric guitar all by itself.
