After much time and consideration, I finally find myself writing what's to be my very first blog post. It has taken a lot of work to get here. I've tripped over this simple thought for months, wondering if dipping my toe into the MU world was a wise choice. I've gone back and forth with the idea that I could be a professional, that I could do what I love and make a living. That makeup wasn't a waste of my time and I should focus on the solid job that I have, that pays the bills. But I'm unhappy there. I feel stifled, like I can't breathe. And my muse is withering in the background, waiting for be to give her a breath of fresh air. I've always been terrified of doing what makes me happy. I guess you could say that this fear stems from my childhood, where dreams were what was practical. I was told that a career in the arts was short lived, and I should be a doctor, or a teacher. To do something useful with my life.
But that's not me. I don't want to teach, or draw blood or anything in the medical field. For the last few years I've done what I needed to survive and get by. Things are stabilizing, and so now I'm at a crossroad. I have the choice of staying where I am and continuing where I do well, but I'm not happy. Or...I could take a chance on the talent I have. Nurture, it and watch it grow into something new. Something beautiful. I think I've waited long enough. I think it's time for my break through. There's so much that needs changing, and I'm ready for this part of my journey to begin. I look forward to sharing with you everything that I know, and everything I learn. So let's make something beautiful together. <3
Thanks for Reading,
Keira
