You are Expected to Conform, Stay Silent, and Smile… Don’t.

They expect you to conform.

They appreciate you when you do not raise questions.They love you when you are demure.

Their expectations are commands in disguise and they’ve been whispering them into women's ears for centuries. They will speak it outright. They will imply the same with a glance, a frown, or a sudden coldness.

But they will never see it coming... You can be demure without trying to squeeze yourself into their narrow box of “acceptable womanhood.”

Demureness Is Not The Need To Surrender

Wear your demureness as a style, not as an imposed sentence.It’s all about how you carry yourself, not how they can control you.

You are allowed to:

• Speak politely yet stay firm.
• Smile with elegance yet dismantle outdated ideas.
• Wear grace like silk robe and rebel like steel.

The world considers the quiet to be weak. Quiet can be strategic too. Quiet is the stillness before a storm. Quiet is the pause in which you gather your truths like sharp arrows.

Blind Conformity Costs Too Much

You never raise questions to avoid conflict. You feed conflict unknowingly. Nod to something you don’t believe in and the lie grows stronger. Conformity is safe, but safety can often be a cage with velvet lining.

It will:

• Condition you to shrink and allow you to vanish.
• Passes on heightened injustice to the next generation.
• Waters the comfort of the powerful while drying out your own.

Silence protects peace — it hides the very thing that needs a change.

Resist, but Don't Lose Yourself

You are scared of the noise. You can resist to imbibe their version of truth, without much clamour.

• Question the normal, in your own mind first.
• Decide which rules deserve your respect and which you should refuse.
• Don't lose your values, even if they tag you “difficult” or “rebellious.”

Your worth is defined by the honesty with which you live in your own skin.

Quiet owns Power

Have you seen a rose with hidden thorns? Demureness without conformity is the same. It is quite delicate in its external appearance, but dangerous to control.

You don’t need to yell and roar to be powerful.You don’t need to fight for your freedom ruining your sanity.Just remember that your voice, your thoughts, and your truth stay non-negotiable.

Smile but don't be scared to say no.

Listen but don't be scared to ask why.

Stand still but know when to refuse to bow.
