The iconic American actress, and multiple award winner, Meryl Streep, is the author of today’s quote. Beyond her remarkable acting career, Streep is also known for her advocacy on issues such as gender equality and environmental conservation, using her platform to effect positive change in the world. Streep suggests that prioritising the opinions of others over one’s own values and beliefs can lead to a loss of individual identity and authenticity. The quote encourages individuals to embrace their unique qualities and stay true to themselves, regardless of societal pressures or judgments. Streep’s words imply that true fulfilment and self-discovery come from staying grounded in one’s truth and living in alignment with personal values and convictions.

Yesterday, BB officially graduated from Basic Military Training and is now enjoying a well-deserved break. He will know later this week where he will be deployed to and I hope the unit he is assigned to is someplace where he enjoys doing his job and learns skills that are transferrable in the real world.

GG is busy with school, as usual, no change there. And for me, work has been so busy these days that I don’t have time to write. I need to figure out where and how I can make time to write so my blog does not suffer too much.

And on that note, let me go and do some writing. Have a great and positive week ahead everyone!
