Actions Quote by Isaiah Harden (Me
“There is no shortage of jerks in the world. No matter where you go, there'll be jerks there. Everyone's gonna want to put their two cents into what you just said or did. But you know what? It doesn't matter, because it'll happen again and again, no matter how much you try to avoid it or boycott it. So it's better to just not give a f*ck and do your thing and say what you want. And if people don't like it, then screw them.”
