Back in the day Quote by Ellen Wong

“I'm sure we all can remember back in the day when you're 17, naïve, you're sort of just this unblemished teenager. You're sort of sheltered and haven't really seen the real world and then when you do see it, you're just like... "This is the world? This is reality?"” quote by Ellen Wong — Download Open image
