Decided Quote by Tavi Gevinson

“We all have the people we follow on Tumblr whose opinions or taste we respect. And I think because you see so much more variety of opinions and everything on the internet, it's less decided that something is good or bad. It's more like we all just sort of like what we like.” quote by Tavi Gevinson
