Trust No One - Sweatshirt
Caution Earned, Not Assumed
The guardedness didn't show up out of nowhere, it showed up after real experience taught the same lesson more than once.
This phrase claims caution earned through experience isn't cynicism, honestly, it's just self-protection worn plainly.
It's a claim made with earned caution, not bitterness, for anybody whose guardedness was earned through real experience, not chosen at random.
