Soft Armor

My outfit has never been about fashion, but about survival.
I learned early how to dress in layers, not just of fabric, but of personality.
Some days I wear confidence like a coat, even when it doesn’t quite fit.
Other days softness is the only thing that feels honest against my skin.
The most difficult thing about being me is that I feel everything, all at once.
I sense moods, shifts, and unspoken words before they ever arrive.
So I choose my outfit carefully, even when no one notices.
Comfort matters more than trends, truth more than approval.
What I wear is less about how I look and more about how I endure.
In that sense, every outfit is a quiet act of self-protection.

    Beautifully done, Maggie.

    I so identify with what you shared as there are days where I choose a particular item of clothing which somehow imparts needed strength. Others, my choice is carefree and airy, supporting those random, stress-free days where I go through life smiling.
