Everyone talks about wanting to live a soft life and how the goal is to be a soft girlie.
But what does that really look like?
A lot of people look at social media and assume that because someone posts daily pictures and videos, smiling and unbothered, that means they’re living a soft life. As if peace is something you can filter and post.
But the truth is, the soft life isn’t as easy or as simple as it sounds. It requires work. Real work.
Starting with choosing peace. And peace doesn’t come easy either.
Peace is disappointing people. Losing access. Saying no without explaining yourself. Unlearning survival mode and realizing you don’t have to overextend just to be loved.
I have been told by a few people that my life seems very calm and peaceful, and I appreciate that. But what they don’t see are the choices behind it. The boundaries. The uncomfortable conversations. The moments I chose myself instead of being everything for everyone else.
I am a people person, and that part of me hasn’t disappeared. But I’ve learned that being kind doesn’t mean being available to everyone. Giving grace doesn’t mean giving unlimited access. And loving others should never come at the cost of abandoning myself.
The soft life isn’t about a problem free life. It’s about a life where I protect my peace on purpose. And that choice, every single time, is anything but soft.
Happy Monday.
Love ya, BYE! 💕
