Passion Quest ?

I'm not the kind of person who has a passion in particular. I mean, a passion I always had. Not that I'm not a enthusiastic person, I just tried a lot a of things but none of it stood out from the others, enough to say that I was passionate about it. In passion I mean more like activity, hobbie or something. Because I could say that travels and music are my passions, in a way. So is food. But like sports, I don't have a favorite one. I've tried a lot I can say, but never could say one was the ONE, you know..... Anyways, all this to say that few years ago, I tried african percussions lessons, and follow them for almost a whole year. What brought me to stop was first the summer, where the session stopped, than cegep had started, which brought me to allow more time to school, and work. But I loved it the time I took the lessons. What an interesting music instrument, in it's own way. It is so amazing how people are when they it their drum, we all get in this state of mind where we don't think about anything beside our hands and the leaders. You actually get to travel while playing, with all the legends and stories around each rythms, and the songs we learn. It really is a collective instrument, where differents people plays different beats with different kind of drums and everything mixes and harmonize. During the lesson, we were about 30 in the group and the room was full of this energized and well-being mood, it was great ! From every age, we were all happy to be there and to play together. Enough for me to not want to practise back home, on my own, in my too quiet house :P. For this Christmas, my parents even got me my own drum, and were stoked about me practising with it, but they never got to hear it, since I was too shy to let them hear me, or not into playing on my own, since is a lot less interesting than with my group. So that was 3 years ago, already, and I remember making myself the promess to start the lessons again, while I was in the West. I didn't get to start the lessons until this fall though, since I didn't have the money before, because it might not seems like it, but those lessons, even with all the fun and benefits they bring, they're quite expensive ! But with this super ordinary summer I spent working, I finally got to afford it, and started my first lesson this last week. Well, can't say I didn't loose the touch, but I surely had the same enthusiasm and fun! Though the group was a lot smaller, we were only 7 with the teacher, than 2 other percussionists joined to add to the beat. And surprinsingly, I was the only student of the group, the others all seemed to be in their 40s or more. Which I found really interesting, because you'll never think, if you see them anywhere else, that they actually take drum lessons, and during the course, they all seem so enthusiastic and cool ! Like, I wish I'll be able to let myself go like they do when I'll be the same age they do, they're so fun to watch. It's like they looked for the unusual but most passionating hobbie they could find, instead of the ordinary kinda hobbies other adults their age do. I just find it fascinating. Oh wait, did I just write "passionating" to describe this activity? Maybe I did find one I'll still do throughout the years, like until I reach the age of 40, or even more... who knows?
