...you're willing to start a new language and then decide to finish the other(s) you've studied for a long time. So I wonder if you've ever suddenly left it all behind (just limited to read small articles in order not to let your level get rusty) and discover new things in your life thanks to those new languages.

There is never such a thing as 'finishing' a language. Once you can understand native
materials, it's as finished as it will ever get, but even then you have to keep exposing
yourself to the language in order not to forget it. I recommend not stopping before
you've reached the level where you can start to work with native materials, because the
loss is greater.
If you are unhappy with the level you've achieved in your other languages and would like
to get further ahead, how'bout using your new language as motivation? You're allowed to
play with your fun new language as soon as you've reached a certain daily or weekly
target for your older languages.

Or alternatively, learn a new language through the language you are currently studying... (For example, learning Russian with German materials for Russian.) ;D I learn Korean grammar using Japanese, but I guess the vocabulary and grammar are somewhat similar.
