“Grace is not like this out for someone to just treat people like crap. It's like, you need to, you need to show me grace. Cause you know, that's how it works. It's like, you're right. Like I should show you grace, but grace doesn't mean I allow you to disrespect me or disrespect the people that I value. Grace is goodness. It is not like just this carte blanche. You can do whatever you want.”
