Pawns of an artistic type

I haven't done something artistic worthy in three weeks. Belly dance used to be the art form in my life, and now that I have graduated I need something new to fill that.

As my brother teaches himself to play the guitar and matches his piano moves to songs he hears and my cousin performs tabla events at the MET, I wonder what should be my next artistic step.

I could go back to the clarinet. The instrument has been untouched for three years. I could begin classical dance, it is in my blood. Just never piqued my interest. If I ever take the second to wonder why it didn't, it's always because I shy away from own culture. I don't want to conformist or to be "perfect". I wanted something filled with more passion. Something that didn't take away from my studies.

I realize how much education took precedence over art and culture. Now that the education is over. Is it time to move to more art and culture?
