“Being one’s self is a twenty-four hour a day job anyway, isn’t it?”

Yeah, these guys have some great perspective. But it’s become a pretty stuffy group of old guys. 🤔

So I was happy to come across something a little lighter that just happened to be from a famous modern(ish) woman. It goes nicely with the self-awareness kick I’ve been on.

I am content to be Marilyn Monroe, to the best of my ability. Being one’s self is a twenty-four hour a day job anyway, isn’t it?
