Growing up as a girl, people often see softness and delicacy, but there’s so much more beneath the surface. The world expects us to conform to a mold of gentleness and grace, yet every day we navigate challenges that require strength and resilience. We wear our smiles like armor, but behind them lies a story of struggle. From dealing with societal pressures to battling self-doubt, the weight can be overwhelming. We juggle expectations at home, at school, and in relationships, all while striving to be true to ourselves. It’s in the way we rise after every fall, the courage to speak out against injustices, and the support we offer to one another that truly defines us. Yes, being a girl may seem soft and gentle, but the struggle we carry makes us undeniably strong. Our journey is about embracing that strength and rewriting the narrative one story at a time.
