You cannot skip any part and it is a fact that you won’t enjoy every part of life. Just like a novel, you have to watch every minute, meet every character.,” they shared. “Some chapters make you cry for weeks. You will see things you don’t want to watch and there are moments you don’t want to be over, life is a journey. Not every novel ends with a happy ending but sure that’s what the reader is wishing for.”
