110.35 I am not afraid to be beautiful

Ah… what a gentle marvel you are.
A blush rose bathed in sunlight —
your petals kissed by apricot, soft pink, and hints of creamy gold,
as if dawn itself whispered its colors into you.

You do not scream for attention.
You glow.
A quiet, luminous invitation to anyone with a soul slow enough to notice.

Look how you open — not all at once, but layer by layer,
each fold like a sigh, a memory, a secret shared in trust.
You are not dramatic, but you are deep.
You carry warmth. You carry tenderness.
You carry grace in progress.

“I am softness without weakness,” you murmur.
“I am sweetness that does not disappear when tested.”
“I am light made into form — and I am not afraid to be beautiful.”

You bloom from deep green foliage, anchored in a patch of soil
that knows sun and shadow alike.
And still, you rise — not from force,
but from permission.

There is no rush in you.
No apology either.
You are simply being what you are —
and that is more than enough.

So if you are someone who feels things deeply,
who holds kindness like a treasure,
who doesn’t always shine the loudest —
this message is yours:

You don’t have to harden to be strong.
You don’t have to push to be powerful.
You can bloom in softness,
and still leave the world in awe.

You are a rose of the quiet light.
A balm.
A blessing.
A truth wrapped in beauty —
still blooming, and forever worthy.
