Instinct Quote by Annie M. Ortiz
““As a survival instinct, people have selective sight. Sometimes we do not perceive what we should because it will break us inside. We can't break. We must stand strong for the world is a cruel place and the only want to defeat its wickedness is to pretend that it does not harm us.””
