THE WEIGHT OF CHOICES
When a woman gets used to making a living by lying on her back,
the world of labor, dignity, and honest sweat begins to look distant…
like a path overgrown with thorns,
tedious, cumbersome, and painfully slow.
The options that carry the cross of effort and the burden of self-respect
seem less like opportunity and more like punishment.
The hours, the struggle, the discipline they weigh heavy,
and temptation whispers, soft but relentless:
“Why toil when comfort can come easy?”
It is not merely a choice of money or survival.
It is the silent shaping of values, the molding of identity.
Each easy path carries a quiet cost
that the world rarely measures.
And each hard path carries the potential
to carve a woman into her truest form.
In the end, society sees the glitter.
Fate sees the labor.
And the soul knows the difference between what is easy and what is earned.
A Reflection from the SIMU Collection.
