Rethinking My Career

I am now 25 years old. I've been working as a creative writer for a TV Network here in the Philippines for more than five years now and I'm seriously rethinking what career path I should pursue for the future. I wrote previously in my entry Career Vs. Calling that I'm having trouble about my current situation right now as an employed person - considering that I'm not getting any younger and a secured and happy future is all that matters.

For the past few weeks, I've been rekindling some interests that I have somehow laid to rest years before when I started working. I'm drawing again, making arts and crafts, and getting myself involved in the art of makeup. I even went on a spur-of-the-moment makeup shopping last night.  And when I got home, I rushed through dinner and washed up right after so I can experiment on the new eyeshadow, eyeliner and blush that I bought. Inspired much by Michelle Phan (the Youtube makeup guru who really inspired me a lot), I gathered all my creative juice and knowledge about makeup and whipped up a "new" look. And here's the result of my quarter life career crisis: 

I think I need to adjust the lighting of the photos more. My eyeshadow color was supposed to be pink and the yellow light washed it away. I think I need to study photography too. Haha. Anyway, seriously after this makeup adventure, I did thought of venturing into being a makeup artist. My mom even asked me the other night, after seeing me curling my sister's hair using a 2-in-1 hair iron, what kind of career do I really wanted to pursue. And I told her half jokingly that I wanted to be makeup artist/hair dresser and I wanted to put up my own beauty salon. (o.O)

Anyway, I really have no answers yet to my career questions. But I'm going to do more of this makeup stuff and I'm going to draw and paint more. I guess this will be my therapy for the moment. And maybe I can pick up some inspiration from these interests to help me decide what I really want to pursue. Maybe I'm really a makeup artist after all :p.
