Whatever we face, we still gonna have to have fun getting through it. We picked our thing, so whether you're a writer, or you're a comedian, or you watch a magazine, you picked it because you're passionate about it, or something about it made you wanna do it, so you might as well enjoy it. - Qamil
Keep going. When you think that nobody cares. When you think that nobody's paying attention. Remind yourself that you are doing it for you because it's something that you love… it really doesn't matter who's watching and who is there, who isn't there, who is meant to be there, will be there. Always, it will never fail. So just do things because you love it and have a good time. Just keep going. - Qamil
