Tommynz1975.....

Yes, you are hijacking.

When you create your own post for your questions, please say what you mean by "the kit lens is no longer fun" and what is special about "two lenses" to add? That depends on what you want to photograph.

You can grow with any camera. Cameras these days aren't the limit. WE are. So much technology is built in that it's possible to keep a human learning something new.

Hi, Tommynz1975!  Please let us know what Canon camera you have and what kinds of photos and/or videos you want to shoot so what the community can make their recommendations.

We look forward to your reply!

I can't tell much from you post but I certainly would put an external flash way down on the list.

Base point get as much FL coverage as you can from "two lenses".
