The Power of Being Gentle in a Loud World
For a long time, I thought strength had to look loud. I thought power meant speaking over others, taking up space with force, and dressing like I had something to prove. But I’ve learned that softness is not weakness. It’s not silence. It’s not hiding.
Softness can be a form of rebellion. In a world that wants us to toughen up, to armor ourselves, to stay quiet unless we have something sharp to say — choosing softness is loud. Choosing to love openly, to feel deeply, to cry when I need to and laugh when I want to — that’s powerful.
Choosing Presence Over Performance
I don’t live my life performing strength anymore. I live it by being present. I speak calmly. I smile at strangers. I post what feels good, not what gets the most likes. I wear what makes me feel like myself. And I let my vulnerability show.
Some people confuse this with fragility. They see my gentleness and assume I can be broken easily. But I’ve faced judgment, online whispers, the bold stares, and the quiet ones too. I’ve lived with a body that sparks curiosity and discomfort. I’ve learned that I don’t need to be loud to be unshakable.
Soft Doesn’t Mean Small
I can wear pink lace and still speak up for myself. I can be graceful and set boundaries. I can love slowly and still walk away when I’m not respected.
Softness is not the absence of fire — it’s the quiet control of it.
My Loud Is in the Way I Exist Freely
The loudest thing about me is how I live without apology. I post unfiltered moments. I talk about my third breast not as something strange but as something real and beautiful. I move through the world like I belong here — because I do.
I am living soft, but loud.
