Mine was not good,” Grammer told podcast host Janine Rubenstein during Friday’s episode ofIn hindsight, it became something that I’m grateful for, but I think for a lot of us, it just really showed us where we get our self-worth from.”
The cancellation of tours and live shows, due to the pandemic, was difficult for the performer because there “was no way” he could “go do the thing that I love,” Grammer said. But, ultimately, it made him “really dive into joy.” “And so that was kind of a cool self-learning moment of, ‘Well, I gotta figure out how to get this from myself. I can’t be reliant on shows or crowds or the right coffee or the right friend group. I get there’s gotta be a way that I can get it from inside myself and I’m working on it. I’m getting there’,” he recalled thinking at the time.Grammer, who often uses his music to advocate mental health, noted how quarantine made him analyze his own joy, something he wasn’t obtaining from himself.
