But since resigning from my real job just a month ago, now I started thinking about becoming a freelancer!

If your videos are these good I wonder how your religious growth videos would be ( they would be soooo inspiring). Do you have any addiction your struggling with, how are you dealing with it, do you relapse, as a Muslim I struggle with music.
