I was watching the Grammys last night with my parents.

Sam Smith had just won his second Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album (what a mouthful), and his speech was really endearing. He said how he tried to do so many things to get people to listen to his music- he tried to lose weight, he tried to be different but he only started to find success when he learned to just be himself. It was a really sweet thing to hear. My Mom added to this tender moment by saying,

“See Jess, all you have to do is be yourself. But maybe bring it down a bit because…you know…you can be a bit much.”
