Never give up on your dreams, and never let anyone tell you that what you love is inconsequential or useless or a waste of time. Because if you love it? If that OTP or children's card game or abridged series or YA book or animated series makes you happy?That is never a waste of time.

You couldn't look like me and be black in West Philadelphia and love the Beach Boys the way I did.
