Allowance Quote by Carrie Brownstein

“I think grief is a step towards strength because it allows you to be porous and take everything in, and have it transform you. What will sit within you is despairing, but at least it's feeling. You're not numb. Grief is sort of the allowance of feeling.” quote by Carrie Brownstein
