so, i went to a concert and a ballet this week and it feels as though my artists flame has been lit again. on monday i saw the columbia community orchestra and the francis burns united methodist choir. the music flowed so beautifully, there was this flute player and when he played you could just see that music was all over him. i’ve been wanting to get serious about my music and my writing again but just couldn’t find the drive to get up and do something. i think i’m going to start devoting time every weekend to nourish that left brain of mine. but, last night i went to see the dance theater of harlem (truly a great show) i suggest that if they’re in your area please go and see them. after i got home and got comfortable i started thinking about the events of this week and i decided one of my biggest regrets in life was the inability to express myself the way i’ve always wanted to. i always wanted to take ballet even as a 23 year old i still have that dream of dancing. so….i’m gonna do it. even if i never join a company, or if i never perform it’s just the fact that i did it. when i was little i played all kinds of sports the closest i got to dance was gymnastics and being raised by my father he kinda missed that feminine aspect that i needed in youth. despite that i think i’ve turned out pretty OK. so after my MCAT and my applications etc for med school i’m going to enroll in some dance classes and live the dream!
