A Quick Wake up Call

Insecurity and frustration seem to be hovering in the midst of Network Talent (NT) lately. Since the time she was discovered, NT was always on the top list of performers of the network. However, things seem to be changing, as Latest Addition (LA) seems to be taking over projects that NT expected to be her ventures.

When NT was starting out, audiences were aware that she had raw talent, which made her dominate the contest she joined. In terms of looks, subtle changes could be made to improve her presence on the stage. She also had to change her image a bit and behave more lady-like. Throughout the years, NT patiently honed her craft, improved her looks, and followed the advice of her handlers. Improvement was seen in NT, and soon, the network tried to capitalize on her other talents, but such opportunities did not do much wonder for her career.

As she had seniority, NT was often included in various programs that exhibited her talent. Given that her network has a continuous search for impressive talents, NT would often be joined by new faces. NT stood her ground and went with the flow. However, the arrival of LA challenged NT, not only in showing off her talent, but also in convincing management of her status in the network.

Alas, NT realized that LA was becoming the flavor of the month. If NT and LA are juxtaposed, the latter would definitely have the edge, and this result is known to even the higher ups. Singing the song for an iconic project under Influential Personality (IP) was an opportunity that NT was waiting for and she thought that she had that one in the bag. When NT found out that LA was taking over, she felt bad, and her feelings turned worse when she heard that IP had personally requested LA for the said singing engagement.

Meanwhile, Powerful Singer (PS), who was also discovered in a reality show, would often give the floor to NT during their rehearsals. Thus, NT felt comfortable at knowing that she would be better that PS based on their practices. When the actual show came, PS gave her all and that action made NT look like an ordinary contestant, and not the winner that she is.

As NT realized that the new talents were taking over her position in the network, her frustration started to show by her late arrivals for network shows. Then, upon her realization that she could be walloped by PS and LA in their forthcoming show, NT wanted to quit. She could not, as the date is near and her pulling out could result in talks that could center on her insecurity. Slowly, the reality that no one is indispensable is sinking in NT. If she does not stop her negative attitude at the higher stakes raised by new talents, then she might just end up at the bottom of the talent pool Perhaps, instead of being frustrated, NT could spend time honing her talent.
