5 Opportunities Zayn Could Explore Now Leaving One Direction

Trying to look at the positives.

Unless you're living under a rock, it was recently confirmed that Zayn Malik of One Direction is quitting. I honestly can't say I'm as into One Direction as many notable fans of the fandom, but I did like listening to them and even went to a concert of their's last summer and liked making a little decor inspired by them. But I can't help but wonder, what is Zayn going to do now???

1. Exploring more time as a British Asian Trust Ambassador

2. Get to do more art

It's no secret that Zayn was really into art, but now he has more time than ever to do as much as he wants. Remember this really cool Gromit sculpture he did for charity??

3. Spend more time with family

Remember when we got to see Zayn buy his mom a house and we all cried???!

Being on the road all of the time is sure to take a toll on family relations. It's clear Zayn cares for his family deeply, but due to being in one of the biggest bands of all time, it was obviously hard to schedule convenient times to see each other.

4. Start his solo career with Naughty Boy

It turns out Zayn is already having Naughty Boy as his producer for his first solo single. If Zayn can still grace us with his voice then I'm all for it.

5. Dance

If you can recall when Zayn at one point stepped out of the X Factor competition because he was too embarrassed to dance, then you might also remember watching this video of him dancing and looking like he's having a good time. That Zayn Malik is a bag of tricks and I can't wait to see how he takes his career in a *new* direction.

BONUS FACT: Zayn will continue to support One Direction

Isn't it obvious that over a span of 5 years, that these boys are all definitely committed to at least admitting that they've each shaped their lives to some capacity? Just because Zayn is no longer a part of One Direction, doesn't mean he probably isn't going to be their biggest fan from here on out.
