Day Quote by Celine Song
“Matchmaking was too fun that it satisfied me so much that I just wasn't writing. And the whole idea of being a matchmaker was a day job. It was meant to help support me while I was a writer. I was like, This doesn't make any sense that I'm just now obsessed with my day job. So I think that's why I stopped.”
