# Embracing Softness: A Journey to Discover Your Inner Strength
Written on
Chapter 1: The Essence of Softness
From the moment we enter this world, we embody a gentle and tender spirit. Like everyone else, I was born with a soft and sensitive nature. Many of us are deeply emotional beings, but often we choose to hide that part of ourselves. For a significant portion of my life, I was that person—afraid to express my true feelings, scared to appear vulnerable, and hesitant to embrace my authentic self. I grew up believing that my sensitivity was a flaw, that my softness rendered me insignificant.
As time passed, I developed a protective shell around my heart, thinking it would shield me from the challenges of life. In reality, this shell only offered a deceptive sense of safety, hindering my personal growth and preventing me from flourishing.
Hiding our vulnerabilities and hardening our hearts is a misconception that leads to isolation. Beneath it all, we are all inherently soft and yearning to be acknowledged. But how can we be recognized if we don’t allow ourselves to be seen?
Life can be tough, making it difficult to maintain our softness. Yet, the true strength lies in our ability to remain gentle amid adversity. It may seem paradoxical, but it is precisely in these moments of pain that we risk breaking free from our self-imposed barriers.
Let your defenses crumble. Allow them to shatter into countless pieces, because in doing so, you embrace your softness. Have you ever noticed how delicate things, like a flower petal, can be so easily torn yet remain beautiful?
We are all born with this inherent softness; it is our authentic state. In a world that often feels harsh, nurturing our gentleness becomes a remarkable superpower. Our softness connects us to others, reveals our humanity, and allows us to be truly seen.
When you find it difficult to remember that softness is a superpower, hold onto these powerful words:
“Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it.” ~ Lao Tzu
Remember, my dear, you are like water. You were never intended to be rigid or confine your heart. Allow your waves to flow freely.
Your superpower is embracing softness.
Your superpower is being your true self.
~ Juliana Otis
