Goals Quote by Carrie Bradsaw

“When youre young, your whole life is about the pursuit of fun. Then you grow up and learn to be cautious. You could break a bone or a heart. You look before you leap, and sometimes you dont leap at all because theres not always someone there to catch you. And in life theres no safety net.” quote by Carrie Bradsaw
