Aftermath of that departure

In the aftermath of that departure, I recollected my routine among the debris. It took a week of battling inner turmoils but I emerged from the wreckage relatively well—I busied myself with my ongoing job search and finishing Demon’s Souls, which I did just 30 minutes ago. And I rekindled my DotA playing days again with Jon and Ding, where on Saturday night both Ding and I embarked to Jon’s place and indulged in our somewhat nostalgic teenage days of wiling the time away to a bedeviled game.

And two interviews later at two different recruitment firms, I begin to wonder if this is what I really want, when my two interviewers seem to find me suitable in a sales and marketing position much to my chagrin. Although I’m open to learning new things that I could put to use in my life, my passion has always been writing—it has always been that way. Unfortunately there seems to be a trade-off between a good pay and a writing gig, and I have admittedly succumbed to the idea of sacrificing my passions for a well-paying job.

Right now… I’m not sure anymore. Earlier today I stumbled onto a technical writer’s position which I researched into extensively and found it intriguing and interesting enough to want to make it as my actual career. Many questions still remain however, such as how to go about dealing with the paradox of a fresh graduate, in which these jobs require working experience but without a job I wouldn’t have any in the first place.

I’ll take on the world one step at a time.
