Gaming Origins

Quotes
-
Don’t ever give up. If I can make my dreams come true, so can you. Don’t give up if you see no viewers. Just keep streaming every day, if you’re a streamer, and don’t give up. Because if you try hard and you work hard and you interact with people that are there are and you try and you put effort into it, you can eventually work your way up that directory page and can be on the front page as well.
