Trust Quote by Kayla Olson
““Oh, though: I should know by now that you can't always trust feelings-which is especially problematic when you can't even trust the things that masquerade as facts. Hindsight; that's the only thing worth trusting these days. Two roads diverge in a wood, and I-I take the one less traveled by.””
